Summary of Sally Field's In Pieces

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I long to hear my mother's laugh again, see her walk towards me, and feel safe. I am still trying to figure out why I was so anxious as a child, and why I could not act like the other kids. #2 I have a memory of clinging to her, a vision so dimly lit that it slips from my grasp like a dream after waking.
She had eyes the color of dark chocolate, laced with feathery black lashes, and was clearly drop-your-jaw beautiful. #3 My mother had a career when she was young, which was something her family had never done before. She met my father while he was in the army, and they married when he returned home. #4 My mother had spent her late adolescence and early adulthood in this house, living with her parents and older brother.
It was where she had stayed when she was the lonely wife of a soldier expecting their first child, and where her beloved father had suffered a fatal heart attack.
