Does it run in families? When three brothers end their lives, is it an ill-fated coincidence or an underlying symptom? Perhaps it's a curse, an unfortunate chain of events or a string of bad luck. One thing for sure, there are endless questions that beg answering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Brother Broken' is not a tale of woe. It's not a romance novel, a how-to handbook, a travel guide, a pot-boiler, a sci-fi sequel or a fantasy adventure. It's a Saskatchewan true story. A slice of history that's not dark or depressing. A memoir of hope and gratitude, with a touch of ridiculous―though some parts are complicated, because there is nothing straightforward pertaining to 'broken'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree of my brothers died.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wish I could say they died of natural causes, but there is nothing natural about suicide.
