Heartbreaking at times, but well written

G. Benson is an author that I trust to tell stories that have characters going through tough times and finding love. Pieces is a great example of characters struggling through hard choices and making difficult decisions while finding love. Another excellent story.

what a different but wonderful story

This was an I interesting story that will pull at your heart strings.. It was able to constast situations far and wide.

Sweet Story

I really enjoyed this sweet story. Had me feeling all the feels. Definitely worth the listen.

Slow start, but glad I stuck with it

narration was lacking. no inflection of tone. the internal dialogue is a little heavy, and sometimes it felt like there was too much description in the scenes. nonetheless, the story is heartwrenching and the overall takeaway is that this is a great book. i enjoyed reading it once I pushed through the beginning

Perfect Title! T

Very touching story. Growing up my family shared our home with many children in the foster care system and this story is very true when it comes to children in the system. My hope is many more folks with a good heart will open their homes as so many children are left behind. Thank you for this story and bringing these type of issues to light.
