Author Brenda Youngerman’s Sorrowed Souls is an intimate glimpse into the lives of three very different people who learn to find their way back to what is most important in life. 

The eyes are said to be the window to the soul.  

Some eyes shine with joy, others reveal sadness.  The worst is when eyes reflect nothing—a darkness, a hopelessness, a giving up on life. 

Bryan Tines wakes up in a strange place with no memory of who he was or where he came from.  In the blink of an instant, everything important to him was lost—gone.  Hungry and dirty, Bryan must find his way back, and with the help of those considered the invisible layer of society, Bryan struggles to do so. 

Gus Hill is a loner searching for a place to belong.  Wealthy and with the curse of alcoholism, Gus survives day to day by living on the edge, living on the outside looking in.  Gus heads quickly toward self destruction, when the harsh words of a well-meaning friend wake him from his self-induced sleepwalk through life. Then Gus learns what life really is. 

Amy Pickens life is constant misery. She is forever struggling with the role her mother assigned to her from her youth—a difficult birth, a burden.  In one instant life offers her a moment of pure joy, which seems to go awry.  Will she find her happiness or was it just a fleeting instant? 

Brenda Youngerman writes a tale of stunning clarity and insight into the lives of average people. Beautifully written, her novel explores the human condition, the ways in which our past torture and free us, and the risks we’re willing to take to realize the illusive dream of happiness.
