HAMPTON, Va. - s4story -- Just in time for Valentine's Day, relationship coach and author Toni Jackson Lampley releases her emotionally gripping debut novel, Broken, a powerful exploration of marriage, betrayal, identity, and the hard work of rebuilding trust when everything falls apart.

Broken follows Amanda, a woman who believes she has built an unbreakable life—marriage, family, and a future she can finally trust. When betrayal shatters that foundation, private heartbreak collides with public scrutiny, forcing Amanda to confront love, faith, and truth in ways she never imagined. As her world burns down around her, she must decide what healing really costs—and whether restoration is possible when the damage is visible to everyone.

Lampley brings a unique perspective to fiction as a relationship coach and master trainer in mentoring practices, integrating themes rooted in human-centered design and the science of hope. Her work invites readers not only to witness the journey of her characters, but also to reflect on their own relationships and choices.
