Pieces of Grace

Picking up the pieces to start all over is difficult...and sometimes dangerous.

"He didn't break you."

Grace Warrens wants to believe Lexie, but her best friend isn't the one standing in the rubble of a shattered existence. In a desperate attempt to put her life back together, Grace, divorced and jobless, leaves Tucson to return to Chicago—a place she never planned to call home again.

She also never planned to fall for Benjamin Hayward.

Drawn into the fairytale existence of his power and wealth, Grace is unable to see what her family and friends see and ignores the warning signs of Dr. Benjamin Hayward's dark side.

Benjamin's secrets—the death of his mentally ill wife and the disappearance of his daughter—push Grace into an abyss deeper than the one that brought her home in the first place, and she risks losing even more.

Pieces of Grace is a complicated story of relationships confused by undercurrents of mental illness. Readers find themselves hoping family and friends can carry Grace through her most difficult moments.

"…that rare, oddly comforting book that also manages to be sexy, creepy, and an overall absorbing page turner… Karen Gibson's first novel is a winner!"             --Abby Frucht, author of A Well-Made Bed

"It's impossible not to read this novel breathlessly... A gripping blend of mystery and romantic thriller with the ever-relatable female protagonist at the heart of every scene, [PIECES OF GRACE] is ideal reading for the kind of day we'd describe as curling up with a good book."  --Laura Jean Baker, The Motherhood Affidavits
