Over time, Philbet finds refuge in unexpected places and inner strength in unexpected ways, leading to a resolution from beyond the grave.

(McManus) is a son of the red-clay country, and he gives us that country vividly with all its hard work, pain, loss, and sharp-edged humor. These are truth-telling poems that remind us to pay attention.--Ellen Bass, author of "Mules of Love" and "The Human Line."
Anna, the main character, fi nds herself immersed in a sequence of events that involve a friendship with Rose, a Native American. Deceit, treachery, and fraud enter their real life. The spirit world encompasses the two women's way of life. A blackbird named Caw twists Anna and Rose's lives toward new and unforeseen events. They share this part of their lives with the spirit bird. At times the bird enables Anna to deal with the spiritual world and helps her to remember her past. A love interest develops between Anna and Sam, a Native American attorney, who takes an interest in her and the Indian artifacts. A connection to Indian artifacts leads to accidents, crime, abuse, arson, and murder. Pottery, quilting, and painting are interests that bind the two women in an exciting experience for the reader. Memories of her early childhood at the family farm, a winter storm, an art gallery, and a local café are all parts of an intriguing novel. Pieces is the title because many pieces were the reason the story was written. We are a lifetime of pieces.
