Split Apart Martine Imon

On December 17, 1993, a freak accident split Wayne's pelvis in half to create what is known as an "open book" fracture, a life threatening injury with a lifelong impact on the survivor. From the moment his wife Martine was told that he may not survive, to the ongoing pain and torment of being emasculated and impotent, this book details a brave journey to recovery while having to reconcile with a life, and a marriage, forever changed.
