An anthology of short stories and poems by Evelyn N. Pollock, Barbara Wackerle Baker, Lisa Reynolds, Andrea Adair-Tippins, and Lyndi Allison, ÒPieces of UsÓ treats you to a combination of 45 short stories and poems that challenge, provoke, and delight. This book has it all. ItÕs about abandonment, growing up, growing older, and getting a grip on life. ItÕs about fate versus self-determination. Incarceration behind bars or inside yourself. The stories and poems are full of twists and turns, truths, false promises, rejections, and self-acceptance. Get ready to laugh and cry, as you ride a roller coaster through lifeÕs unpredictable journey, witnessed through the compassionate eyes of five female friends.
