When the people Annie love mysteriously vanish one by one, how will she uncover the secret that lies trapped inside her own deceptive mind?

Annie knows there’s something wrong with her. A child genius with crippling social anxiety and a compulsion for tearing at her wrist, Annie struggles to please her reputation-obsessed mother. Annie’s dad is the only one who understands her. But when he runs off on a spiritual quest during a manic episode, Annie blames herself.

As she matures, Annie’s grief is reignited each time someone she cares about mysteriously disappears without a trace. Suspecting she’s gone insane, Annie learns she can’t trust anyone, least of all herself. When she finally discovers the shocking truth, Annie’s next move could mean the difference between life and death.

Glass Half Broken is a fast-paced domestic thriller packed with mystery and a shocking twist!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I'm inclined to describe the book by saying it's what Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar would have been like if it had been written by Philip K Dick. I consider this to be an absolutely stunning debut novel. I genuinely couldn't put the book down once I started reading, it is very fast-paced and absolutely mind-bending." —Goodreads Reviewer

"It is one of the first stories I felt like I just couldn't put down in a long time." —Timothy R. Baldwin, Author and Sandra's Book Club Reviewer

"Throughout, the beautiful writing gave me a window into a wide range of experiences, some familiar to me and some unfamiliar, and when I finished the book I wanted to tell everyone to read it." —Lori Handelman, Clear Voice Editors

"Glass Half Broken is a psychological domestic thriller that deals with mental illness and its consequences on the person affected and those around them. The author does a great jobof highlighting deficiencies in the institutions meant to help people with mental illness as well as the plight of the homeless." —Jacqui Corn-Uys, Reedsy.com

I was very impressed with this book. It was quite scary when I started. I wanted to stop several times. I wish that there was more insight at the end of the book. This writer must’ve gone through some interesting times.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful roller coaster
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2023

This book shines a huge light on the lack of assistance there is for people in need treatment for mental health issues and all of the ways that can look, from isolation to homelessness. It was a roller coaster ride of emotions and constant guessing. I enjoyed the read and appreciated the important message.

The story draws upon the world of mental illness and interestingly keeps one guessing at what is real and what is not. A glimpse into a dark world with grievances, and a path to homelessness. Very interesting and entertaining.

A deep suspenseful novel about identity, facing psychological issues, homelessness and self acceptance. This story was full of twists of hope and tragedy, and how it shaped the main character. Well written and exciting storyline. Highly recommend.

This book was definitely a page Turner, but I did get confused at times to what was really going on. I was also looking for the "thriller" part of the story. But overall it was a good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glass Half Broken, An Enthralling, Disturbing Fictional Quest for Sanity
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2023

A remarkable, thoroughly engaging first novel. Rachel Richards' Glass Half Broken is a sassy young girl's adventurous search for sanity, stability and self-realization. By turns, a mystery, a bildungsroman and a sharp social statement about psychological healthcare and homelessness.

This is an incredibly well written book about mental illness. You will need a strong stomach for this one. But it is very eye opening.
