About the Book

Everything in Renee's life is perfectly in order until one fall weekend, when her world collides with possibility and the past, setting off a tidal wave of changes even she couldn't have predicted.

Book Synopsis

Order. Purpose. Predictability.

Dr. Renee Lawler organizes her life around those principles, and rarely does she stray from them. After all, they've brought her this far in life, where she enjoys her role as English department chair at a small but reputable New England university. Renee very much appreciates that her academic reputation instills sparks of fear in students' hearts.

If there's room in her heart for anything more than literature and controlling those around her--Renee hasn't allowed herself the chance to discover that possibility. Her life is perfectly in order until one fall weekend, when her world collides with possibility and the past, setting off a tidal wave of changes she could have never predicted.

Review Quotes

This is my first read of a Jackson novel and I am adding her to my list of authors to explore. There is a maturity and confidence in her writing which is totally engaging. Jackson's voice is very distinctive which elevates the story being told. Both main characters could have been left as caricatures of two distinctive types of women. In Jackson's capable hands, Renee and Hunter are fleshed out and become complex individuals. The Missing Piece is a late in life coming out story which is well written, entertaining, and enlightening. Fans of romance should not let this novel pass them by.-Della B., NetGalley
