"Broken Pieces is an exploration of resilience and choices. The story details the struggles of sisters Abby and Megan, told from the point of view of Abby. The reader is quickly moved from the notion of an ordinary novel to the thought of having discovered a young girl’s diary and having the audacity to read it.

Abby endures multiple living situations that threaten stability, and in one instance – her life. Not being able to depend on an alcoholic father, she carefully negotiates minefields of cruelty from a mentally deranged stepmother, heartless relatives, and school bullies. As her words describe abuse, loneliness, and bitter loss, you can’t turn away. The raw emotion delivered by a talented author engages the reader. You are motivated to reach out to Abby – you want to protect her, advise her, and lend a comforting shoulder to cry on.
​Through the years, Abby articulates encounters with friends and lovers – both life-enhancing and gut-punch painful. Life lessons are used to raise two boys and begin a business. As her days turn into a normal routine, Abby is confronted with a difficult choice. The excruciating decision will affect people she loves. Will she follow her intellect or her heart?

We applaud Abby’s resiliency while knowing, in reality, not all people in similar situations are as fortunate. Hopefully, through Abby’s ability to cope, other broken hearts will find enough hope to persevere." ~Alan Vandervoort
