Fragments of the Past is a poignant novel of loss, resilience, and the power of reclaiming one's history. Set in the affluent town of Meadowfield, Massachusetts, the story follows Ebby Freeman, whose life was shattered in 2003 by the tragic death of her brother, Baz, and the destruction of a treasured family heirloom—a stoneware jar with deep ancestral significance.
Years later, in 2021, Ebby's high-profile romance thrusts her back into the public eye, forcing her to confront unresolved grief and painful family secrets. Seeking solace, she flees to Provence, where the quiet beauty of the French countryside stirs memories of her past and a growing desire to uncover the truth. As she pieces together the jar's history, she unearths a powerful legacy of survival, leading her to a deeper understanding of her family's resilience.
Moving between past and present, Fragments of the Past is a beautifully woven narrative about healing, identity, and the strength found in brokenness. Perfect for readers who love deeply emotional and historically rich stories, this novel explores how our past shapes us—and how, even in the darkest moments, we can reclaim our future.
