Jean DeFreese Moore Releases “A Father’s Love: Brokenhearted,” the Eighth Novel in the Beloved Father’s Love Series

Jean DeFreese Moore announces the release of “A Father’s Love: Brokenhearted,” the eighth installment in her acclaimed Father’s Love series—a sweeping historical family saga that began as a homeschool project shared with her granddaughter and has since touched readers with its heartfelt storytelling and emotional depth.

Set in America as the nation prepares for another war, “A Father’s Love: Brokenhearted” follows James Britt—a decorated World War I veteran, Medal of Honor recipient, and former United States Senator—as he faces the greatest challenge of his life. After carrying the wounds of war for twenty-three years, James now battles for his health while striving to continue protecting and providing for his wife and three adopted children.

At the center of the story is fourteen-year-old Travis Britt, whose world is shattered when he accidentally discovers the truth about his birth mother. Feeling betrayed and confused, Travis lashes out at the family that raised him, unable to understand that James kept the secret not out of deception, but out of love—protecting both mother and child from harsh judgment and painful circumstances beyond a boy’s understanding.

As James grows too ill to guide him, Travis drifts into anger and rebellion until tragedy forces the truth into the open. Through the wisdom of his grandfather, Reid Britt, Travis begins to see the sacrifices made for him and the depth of his father’s love.

The novel also introduces Jon, a seven-year-old scarred by abuse and neglect, whose arrival reveals one of the book’s central themes: that love is not always expressed through words or affection, but through responsibility, sacrifice, and faithfully caring for the everyday needs of family. This twist to the story provides needed clarity into the life of James’s youngest sister, Aponi.

Rich with historical detail and emotional authenticity, “A Father’s Love: Brokenhearted” explores the resilience of family bonds, the burden of hidden truths, and the courage required to forgive and heal. Although it is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone story.
