A leading surgeon is haunted by an event that occurred at a university party twenty years ago. Can she summon enough inner strength to finally move on?
What will happen when guilt, trauma, friendship, and perseverance intersect in the present day?
I’m Dr Christopher Norris, a Chartered Physiotherapist (MCSP) with over 40 years of clinical experience.
Writing and teaching are passions of mine. I’ve authored fourteen books on physiotherapy and exercise, created educational videos and CDs, and recently published my first novel, Fractured Healer.
In addition to writing, I lecture extensively to physiotherapists, doctors, and exercise professionals. I hold a postgraduate certificate in medical education and work as a visiting lecturer and external examiner at several universities.
Chris Norris is the author of fourteen books on physiotherapy and exercise, including a textbook on sport injuries (Sports and Soft Tissue Injuries, Routledge), now in its 5th edition, which is the set book on many physiotherapy and sport therapy courses. His book ‘Back Rehabilitation’ (Routledge), now in its 3rd edition has received top reviews in both the UK and USA, and his ‘Complete Guide’ books (Bloomsbury) regular get 4 and 5 star ratings on Amazon.

"Norris crafts moments of vulnerability and tenderness with authenticity. The prose is clean and accessible, but not simplistic. The central character is richly drawn—flawed, introspective, and deeply human."
"The novel presents both emotional and physical recovery as active processes, using exercise as a metaphor for healing."
"Fractured Healer is a powerful and introspective journey through the process of overcoming trauma. With raw honesty and emotional depth, the book explores the pain of the past and the resilience it takes to heal. It's a compelling read that offers both hope and insight for anyone on their own path to recovery."
This is a story of how someone must rebuild their self-esteem while others around them seek redemption. Can the flame of first love be reignited many years later?
The continuous thread of self-empowerment prompts the reader to wrestle with the moral and ethical impacts of crime on both the victim and the offender.
