Descripción

"A powerful story of family and connection that is just as fun as it is heartbreaking. Jill Santopolo, New York Times bestselling author of The Light We Lost and Everything After, praises this deeply moving tale of family and identity. Alison Hammer, following her acclaimed debut novel You and Me and Us, delivers a narrative that explores the complexities of familial bonds and self-discovery.

When Paige Meyer receives an email from a DNA testing website revealing that her father is a man she never met, she is initially in disbelief. As Paige delves into her mother's past and confronts her own sense of alienation within her family, she begins to question everything she thought she knew. Her journey of understanding leads her to reevaluate her memories of her father, a man she deeply admired and mourns.

Set in 1975, Betsy Kaplan, Paige's mother, is a sophomore at the University of Kansas. After a disappointing relationship, Betsy seeks more from life and takes a risk with Andy Abrams, a charismatic student with a secret that could shatter lives. The repercussions of one night lead Betsy to make decisions that will impact her and her child's future.

As Paige seeks answers from her mother, she turns to the only other person who was present during that fateful night. The more Paige uncovers about the past, the more she sees her mother as a real person who faced an impossible decision. This revelation may hold the key to repairing their fractured relationship.

Told through dual timelines, Little Pieces of Me examines how our identities are shaped and how they endure or evolve through our life experiences."
