But as she\ndigs deeper into her mother’s past and her own feelings of being the odd child\nout growing up, Paige begins to question everything she thought she knew. Could\nthis be why Paige never felt like she fit in her family, and why her mother\nalways seemed to keep her at an arm’s length? And what does it mean for Paige’s\nmemories of her father, a man she idolized and whose death she is still\ngrieving?\nBack\nin 1975, Betsy Kaplan, Paige’s mom, is a straightlaced sophomore at the\nUniversity of Kansas.

After their night together has unexpected consequences, Betsy is\ndetermined to bury the truth and rebuild a stable life for her unborn child,\nwhatever the cost.\n\nWhen\nPaige can’t get answers from her mother, she goes looking for the only other\nperson who was there that night. The more she learns about what happened, the\nmore she sees her unflappable, distant mother as a real person faced with an\nimpossible choice. But will it be enough to mend their broken relationship?\n\nTold\nin dual timelines, Little Pieces of Me examines identity and how the way\nwe define ourselves changes (or not) through our life experiences.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062934872\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0062934872.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hammer, Alison\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
