Pieces of Me - by Mary Beth Eversole (Paperback)

About the Book

Pieces of Me follows Katie as she uncovers past lives through dreams. Facing grief from losing a child, she finds healing and purpose while redefining womanhood across generations.

Book Synopsis

Katie knows she's died...again. Each time she wakes from the dream, it feels real-a haunting memory she can't escape. As an award-winning journalist in 2020, Katie is used to uncovering truths, but her confidence has been shaken by a personal tragedy and the vivid dreams of lives she's certain she's lived before.

Sarah, a singer in the turmoil of the 1940s, finds solace in her son and her music. Rosamund, a fierce woman in 1400s Italy, has had enough of the horrors around her and vows to protect her community. Anya, a healer from an ancient village, struggles to lead her people through hardship. And Jenice, a lost girl, just wants to go home.

Connected across lifetimes, these women's stories echo with themes of motherhood, resilience, and purpose. As Katie pieces together their lives, will she uncover a deeper meaning behind her own as she confronts her grief?

Review Quotes

Pieces of Me is a heart-warming story of feminine power that quickly draws you into its mysterious yet uncanny circles of reincarnation. I found myself rapidly turning pages from the beginning. Mary Beth Eversole's style is the kind of easy reading that allows the reader to wake up to real life, only to realize they've just devoured half the book.

The connections between characters are vibrant and memorable. There is an uncanniness that lends the reader to examine their own inner story, tracing their own string into the past. With themes that include past lives, loss and healing, and fate, every reader can parallel pieces of themselves with those of the main character, Katie, whose memory stretches back to former reincarnations through dreams. Through these dream memories, she is able to see the thread that connects her to all of her lives, and connects those lives to the lives of others.

The way in which one person's suffering can transform into another's salvation under the umbrella of love and compassion feels accurate and inspiring - never cheesy - under Eversole's pen. Katie's character reminds us that we are all connected across space and time, through love. And that what we experience in our inner worlds is relevant and powerful - these truths are the most real, the most accurate signposts guiding us personally and collectively into the future.
