Once upon a time we were a family…
Back then, all I remember was laughter and joy. I was the first-born child, and I remember so clearly my parents’ joyful faces as I held my little sister, Phoebe, for the first time.
But then one devastating day, everything changed, when Phoebe died. And it tore us all apart.
Then the third daughter – baby Bea – was born. It was meant to be the start of us healing. Becoming a family again. But the truth was, nothing would ever be the same again.
Now Bea is all grown up. And she’s called me to say she’s pregnant. She says she wants to come home, and she has some questions.
After all these years, I know it’s time for our family secrets to come to the surface. The secrets we’ve been trying to pretend never happened. About the missing pieces in our family… And about the very worst day of my life…
A powerful, heartbreaking story about family, sisterhood, and the ties that bind us. A perfect read for fans of Susan Lewis, Sally Page and Amanda Prowse, from No.1 bestselling author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont, Laura Pearson.
Readers love Missing Pieces:
‘Even when I couldn’t see properly as the tears streamed down my face rivalling the force of the Niagara Falls, I couldn’t put this novel down. It is raw, it is devastating (yes, I’m aware I’ve used that word before but it is!) and yet, it’s wonderful and I absolutely loved it!’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Wow!!!! Missing Pieces is gripping, heartbreaking, and I didn’t want to put it down. Laura Pearson’s writing is phenomenal!!… This book grabbed me from page 1. It is gripping throughout and the ending had me crying! And I’ve only cried twice reading books.’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘If you want to have a rollercoaster of a ride, read this. If you want to use up a box of tissues, read this.’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Wow … amazing… straight away it captures your heart, it is so beautifully written and impossible to put down… have the tissues ready… it feels so real… it stays with you.’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘A rollercoaster of emotions… The story will stay with me a long time… A book that I couldn’t put down… Deserves far more than five stars.’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘I am lost for words to describe this book which drew me in, enveloped me to the point where I was constantly thinking about the characters, worrying about them like they were my own. I fell in love.’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘I had tissues near me each time I picked this book up to read, and the first time it made me cry I was in the bath, and my special pack of tissues were the other side of the bathroom door, argh! I cried with sadness and I cried with relief.’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘I’m quite an emotional reader and felt an almost physical ache in my heart as I read. I fully expected I’d cry but I didn’t. Not because Missing Pieces isn’t emotional, but because I had the feeling that if I let myself give in to the emotions it was engendering in me, I might never recover… Outstanding’ Reader Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
From the Publisher
Dear Reader,
Thanks so much for taking a look at my books. I write what some people call emotional women’s fiction and others call book club fiction. It doesn’t really matter what it’s called – I mostly write about women living ordinary lives and the extraordinary things that sometimes happen to them. I set my novels in places I’ve lived – London, Leicestershire, Cheshire, Southampton – and I people them (mostly) with the kind of women I’d like to meet.
Some themes I find myself returning to again and again are sibling relationships, enduring friendships, women supporting women, and the tiny decisions that can alter the course of a life. I hope you find something here you’d like to read.
When I’m not writing or reading, I’m usually hanging out on Twitter (@laurapauthor), so I might see you there, too.
With love,
Laura
