Synopsis

"How to Heal a Heart" is a gripping and heartrending tale that explores the lengths one man will go to find peace and ultimately reconcile the shattered pieces of his life.
Gabriel Friessen can’t shake his growing unrest at the idea that his seemingly perfect life is nothing but a lie he’s spent a lifetime running away from.
Despite his deep love for his wife and step-daughter, as well as the unwavering affection from his family, Gabriel suspects that in order to find peace, he must confront the truth he has spent a lifetime evading. This truth pertains to the man who is his biological father, the one who abandoned his mother, leaving her alone and pregnant before Gabriel's birth.
Though Gabriel is grateful to Andy Friessen for adopting him, giving him his name, raising him, and showering him with love, there exists a part of him that yearns to confront the man who turned his mother away. While his mother has moved on from that painful past, and his brothers and sisters may not understand his internal struggle, Gabriel realizes that for him to find the peace he desperately seeks, he must face his biological father head-on, before his emotions of guilt and anger spiral out of control any further.
