Read a sample Read a sample

A boy's mysterious dreams and a troubled WWII romance converge in the New York Times bestselling author's heartfelt novel inspired by true accounts.
Eager for a fresh start after her husband's untimely death, Audra plans to leave Portland for a new job in Philadelphia. Her seven-year-old son Jack seems apprehensive about flying—but it's just the beginning of an anxiety that grows to consume him. As Jack's fears continue to surface in recurring and violent nightmares, Audra hardly recognizes the introverted boy he has become.
Desperate to help her son, Audra traces snippets of information unearthed in Jack's dreams, leading her to Sean Malloy, a struggling US Army veteran wounded in Afghanistan. Together they unravel a mystery dating back to World War II, and uncover old family secrets that still have the potential to wound—and perhaps, at last, to heal.
Deftly weaving together past and present, The Pieces We Keep evokes the depth of a mother's bond with her child, and the power of personal histories to echo through generations . . .
"Gripped me from the first page and didn't let go." —Alyson Richman, bestselling author of The Lost Wife
