Product Description
What if the person you thought you knew best turns out to be someone you never knew at all . . . ?Andrea knows everything about her mother, Laura. She knows she’s spent her whole life in the small beachside town of Belle Isle; she knows she’s never wanted anything more than to live a quiet life as a pillar of the community; she knows she’s never kept a secret in her life. Because we all know our mothers, don’t we?But all that changes when a trip to the mall explodes into violence and Andrea suddenly sees a completely different side to Laura. Because it turns out that before Laura was Laura, she was someone completely different. For nearly thirty years she’s been hiding from her previous identity, lying low in the hope that no one would ever find her. But now she’s been exposed, and nothing will ever be the same again.The police want answers and Laura’s innocence is on the line, but she won’t speak to anyone, including her own daughter. Andrea is on a desperate journey following the breadcrumb trail of her mother’s past. And if she can’t uncover the secrets hidden there, there may be no future for either one of them. . . .
Customer Reviews
Pieces Of Her is about Andrea discovering the pieces of her mother she never knew. After Laura and Andrea are caught in a shoot out in the mall Andrea witnesses a side to her mother she had never known. This one event triggered the beginning of Andrea’s search for the truth.The set of events that take place sends the reader on a very unexpected journey into the lives of Laura and Andrea Oliver who are mother and daughter. Andrea’s entire life is about to change and what she thought she knew of her life is about to blow her mind.It took one spark to ignite the plan that consumed each of their lives. A past dating back to 1986 is where Andrea had to gather all the pieces of her mother’s life. As an amateur detective Andrea impressed me. As a thirty-one year living back at home floundering in life for a sense of purpose Andrea found her courage and strength on that journey to self discovery.Laura didn’t allow what happened to her turn her into a victim. Laura is a survivor. Laura’s character was extremely complicated and complex. Her journey shocked me in the most wonderful way.Pieces Of Her is a thrill novel about Laura and Andrea. The characters actions and behavior kept me alert. The dangerous activity fed my curiosity. Ms. Slaughter included some gory graphic murder scenes, but it was relevant to the cause. She offers a complicated storyline with complicated characters, yet it’s an easy read. The storyline while not an original concept is still unique with the way Ms. Slaughter delivered the information. She made it her own with unexpected twists and turns. The information presented allows the reader to formulate their own ideas and draw their own conclusions. Nothing is as it seems.This is a powerful and intense story. I got sucked into these characters lives absorbing both the truth and lies.This was one of those story’s you wanted to complete in one sitting, for if you took a break, you would lose your train of thought.Narrator:Performed by Kathleen Early. She was the solo narrator performing this unabridged audiobook. The audiobook was performed in a soundproof facility offering a good quality listening experience. Kathleen voiced everyone of these characters with great skill and talent.
