Publisher Description
In lyrical and evocative prose, the New York Times bestselling author of the Tradd Street novels takes the scattered pieces of a life and weaves them into a tale of hope...
Caroline Collier is a woman bogged down in the harsh realities of a life barely lived. Stress from her all-consuming job as an accountant has given her panic attacks, forcing her to take a leave of absence from work. And though her chances of relaxing in the presence of her overbearing, perfect mother are slim, she joins her at the family’s vacation home in the mountains of North Carolina.
Though Caroline loves the serene beauty of Lake Ophelia, peace of mind is not to be found. Memories of her beloved younger brother, who died when she was seventeen, continue to haunt her, while the tension between her mother and her still simmers. Only their neighbors, the husband and daughter of one of Caroline’s childhood friends, seem able to penetrate her cool reserve, giving Caroline the courage to face her biggest fears—and dive headfirst into life...

Pieces of the Heart by Karen White
I am so happy to have found this author! I greatly enjoyed reading this book. Some of the plot lines seemed familiar but I enjoyed the way she had her characters discover new truths about themselves and their situations.
:)) luv it
I'm really enjoying Karen White's books. This one really touched home with me. I really hope she considers a sequel to these characters they all bring different unique qualities to the story. Which reminds me how we are all different and have to learn to accept each other for our uniqueness instead of lashing out at each other or holding grudges. Keep writing!!! :))
So Good!!!!!
Excellent as all of your books are!!!!!
