Pieces of Her

PIECES OF HER

At forty-two, Julie has everything a woman is supposed to want-a beautiful home, a successful husband, grown children finding their own way, and a career she loves.

And yet, somewhere along the way, she has quietly disappeared from her own life.

Haunted by the death of her mother from leukemia when she was only eight years old, Julie has spent decades searching for answers to questions she cannot fully name. Then a long-forgotten cedar chest resurfaces, filled with her mother's handwritten letters, photographs, and treasured keepsakes.

And suddenly, the woman Julie barely had time to know begins to come alive.

Letter by letter, Julie discovers a mother beyond the memories of illness and loss-a woman who loved, dreamed, struggled, and left behind more of herself than Julie ever imagined. But some discoveries illuminate more than the past.

As long-buried truths surface and the cracks in Julie's own marriage become impossible to ignore, she is forced to confront a question she has avoided for years:

Is the life she's been living the life she truly wants-or is it finally time to write a different ending?

PIECES OF HER is an emotional novel about mothers and daughters, marriage, grief, identity, forgiveness, and the pieces of ourselves we inherit from those who came before us.

Some inherit wealth.

Some inherit heartache.

Some inherit stories powerful enough to change their lives.
