Description

Pieces of Me: How I Solved the Puzzle of My Own Life — and Became the Woman I Was Meant to Be For nearly thirty years, Charlotte Baker thought she knew who she was. She didn't. Behind the polite façade of her childhood home lived an iron-fisted mother whose cruelty left bruises no one was allowed to see. A father who disappeared when she needed him most. A little girl who learned, before she could read, that some questions were never to be asked aloud. Then came the dream. Then the second one. Then the third. And then, on a December night in 1976, a wooden box on a closet shelf — and a single piece of paper that shattered everything she thought was true. She was adopted. She was someone else's daughter. And somewhere out there was a family who had been waiting for her her whole life. What she found when she went looking would take decades to piece together: a birth mother whose voice she'd never heard, but whose songs would one day make her weep. A sister who shared her name. A bloodline that stretched back six hundred years — with secrets even her birth mother never knew. Pieces of Me is the true story of a woman who refused to stay broken — and the faith, the love of a good man, and the quiet courage it took to gather every scattered piece of herself and become whole. She had thirty years of missing pieces. This is the story of how she found them.
