In Pieces is a poignant and emotionally charged tale of grief, guilt, and the fragile hope of forgiveness.
After a tragic car crash claims the lives of her parents and two younger brothers, Storie Sunday is left as the sole survivor-haunted, broken, and forever changed. Raised by loving relatives but hardened by pain, she dedicates her life to helping children in the foster system, determined to protect others from the kind of loss that nearly shattered her.
Enter Rafe Harper: charming, grounded, and carrying demons of his own. As a grief counselor, he understands trauma all too well. When he and Storie cross paths at the social services office, something sparks between them. But neither of them knows the devastating truth that binds them: Rafe is the boy who, years ago, drove the truck that killed Storie's family. Protected from prison by his grandfather-a powerful judge-Rafe has spent every year since trying to live a life worthy of forgiveness.
As their connection deepens, Rafe grapples with the unbearable truth and the risk of destroying the fragile love blossoming between them. Storie has finally found someone who makes her feel safe again, but what will happen when she learns the truth?
In Pieces is a heart-wrenching novel about the weight of the past, the courage it takes to face it, and the healing power of love. Perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Jodi Picoult, this story asks: Can you ever truly forgive the unforgivable?
