Our Lives in Pieces is a collection of essays, tiny microcosms of insight into the author's experiences with traumatic life events and loss. With raw honesty, she writes about losing loved ones to suicide and cancer. Her battle with addiction and Anorexia is woven throughout the pages as she courageously explores the detrimental, destructive effects of childhood abuse. Topics like motherhood, adoption, and marriage examine the underbelly of universal themes like failure, fear, and disappointment. In these pages, life is framed as shattered moments of deep despair, tattered along the rough edges of grieving and healing, calling us to see what truly matters.
