Publisher's Synopsis
One summer, Melissa Cistaro s mother drove off without a word. Devastated, she and her brothers were left to pick up the pieces, wondering why their mother abandoned them. Decades later, Melissa finds herself at her dying mother s side, with just days to find out what happened that summer and confront the fear she could do the same to her own children. She never expects to stumble on a cache of letters her mother wrote but never sent, which could hold the answers she seeks. Haunting yet ultimately uplifting, 'Pieces of My Mother' reveals how our parents choices impact ours and how we can survive those to forge our own paths.
