A Million Little Pieces is an uncommonly genuine account of a life destroyed and a life reconstructed. It is also the introduction of a bold and talented literary voice.
A multi-generational saga of two men: Kane, a priviledged Bostonian whose future as a banking magnate has already been charted for him; Abel, a Polish orphan who is literally left to die in the woods when his mother dies in childbirth.
A remarkable story of resilience and redemption, this book is an important witness to the destructiveness of family secrets and the hope for people demanding change for themselves and their families.
There is a thread of hope, an appreciation for random kindness, and an ability to look beyond the depravity of humankind that pervades this brave and poignant memoir of a man who went on to serve 30 years in the U.S. Air Force and retired as a colonel.
A book that you will read again and again - the story, the life's lessons, the metaphors, the prose, the poetic descriptions of life, fishing, nature, relationships, human weaknesses... Simply amazing and beautiful!
