Love Like Broken Glass: A Sapphic Love Story about Dissociated Identities and Lonely Hearts

Kasey has mastered the art of playing it cool. Working solitary hours and retreating into the pages of sapphic romance novels, she keeps her loneliness at arm’s length, content to live vicariously through fiction rather than face her own stagnant life. But when rumors swirl about a mysterious, intriguing new hire at her job, Kasey finds herself daring to hope that her own real-life romance might finally be within reach. Enter Sam, a person just looking for a clean slate after escaping a toxic past. Sam prefers the company of their Dungeons & Dragons group over real-world connections, largely because they are never truly alone. Sam shares their body and mind with their system: Lita, the fierce, guarded protector, and Leksa, a melancholic bibliophile haunted by memories that blur the line between reality and story. As Kasey and Sam’s paths cross, the barriers around their hearts begin to shatter. Navigating the complexities of Dissociative Identity Disorder, this is a tender, deeply honest exploration of what it means to be seen—not just for who you are today, but for every hidden piece of your soul. Sometimes, love is the only thing strong enough to hold all the broken shards together.
