Some repairs require more than tools.
Most stories about fatherhood try to tie everything up with a neat bow. This one leaves the tools scattered on the garage floor.
Daddy Broke His Bicycle is a character-driven story that examines a quieter truth about family: as parents, we often hand our children a ride that is already bent, rusted, or carrying the hidden wear and tear of our own pasts.
Written primarily from a father’s perspective, these themes are deeply rooted in the adult experience of parenting. There are no easy lectures or tidy resolutions here. Instead, it observes the messy, real-time struggle of a man attempting the heavy lifting of breaking inherited generational cycles before they are passed down to his son.
From the weight of unresolved history to the grease on a father's hands and the vulnerability of a simple apology, J.M. Sloan finds meaning in the overlooked gears of a normal home.
This book is a mirror. It is an invitation to sit low on the concrete floor, look closely at the chains and sprockets, and witness the patient, daily work of human repair.
Step into the garage. Discover a deeply human story about the quiet, difficult work of breaking the cycle.
