But soldes the Ripping Apart by Hincy, William R. NEUF

"Some people run from their demons; others sit down and have cocktails with theirs."

When single father Jack Henry accompanies his girlfriend to check on her beloved third-grade schoolteacher, he is horrified to find Ms. Lyon self-imprisoned by a sprawling hoard of trash, trinkets and the broken remnants of every object she has ever owned. Reluctantly enlisted to help Ms. Lyon get her life in order, Jack is forced in the process to confront the mess he has become. Past trauma and long-silent suffering have left Jacks own life on the brink of collapse, and as the failures mount and his self-doubt grows, Jack is left scrambling to nurture what he loves instead of feeding the impulses that threaten to rip him and his family apart.
