To celebrate the November 26th release of THE PIECES
WE KEEP, Kristina McMorris is giving away a special
memory box just in time for the holidays! Savor the
nostalgia of the 1940s with big band music, Victory Garden
seeds, elegant stationery, themed goodies, and a signed copy
of each of Kristina's previous award-winning novels, all
inspired by true stories: LETTERS
FROM HOME, BRIDGE OF
SCARLET LEAVES, and "The Christmas Collector" (a novella
featured in the New York Times bestselling anthology A WINTER
WONDERLAND).
Two years have done little to
ease veterinarian Audra
Hughes's grief over her husband's untimely death. Eager for
a fresh start, 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, she 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 strength to
wound--and perhaps, at last, to heal.
