Sometimes it's hard to remember what it was like when her mother was still alive . . . when they were a family . . . when they were happy. But then a few days after her 13th birthday, Georgia receives an unexpected gift-a strange, formal letter, all typed up and signed anonymous-granting her free admission to the Brandywine River Museum for a whole year. And things begin to change. An accessible novel in poems, "Pieces of Georgia" offers an endearing protagonist-an aspiring artist, a grieving daughter, a struggling student, a genuine friend-and the poignant story of a broken family coming together.
