Poetry, prose, and essays to let you into one woman's life -- a searingly raw examination of topics most people avoid. Not easy subjects -- love, loss, sexual abuse, date rape, grief -- but real ones, told in pieces (thus the title). Broken Pieces is an award-winning book about relationships, a study of women, and a book with heart. Vastly different in tone from her previous essay collections A Walk In The Snark and The Mancode: Exposed, Broken Pieces is a collection of pieces inspired by life: love, loss, abuse, trust, grief, and ultimately, love again. While still non-fiction, best-selling Broken Pieces is not humor at all. In Thompson's most intensive work to date, she opens her soul and invites the reader in for a visit. Thompson goes into those long buried rooms we lock up deep inside and shares a bit of her soul. Broken Pieces is vulnerable, raw honesty, and no-holds-barred.

From the Author:

This is Rachel Thompson's most intensive work to date. Broken Pieces is a work of nonfiction essays, poetry, and prose where she opens her soul and invites you in for a visit. It's vulnerable, it's raw honesty, it's no-holds barred. This is the first book she has published (of three) where she questioned if readers and reviewers would respond favorably due to the serious nature of the work. And yet, they have. Most readers know her as the funny girl, but this work (hinted at in A Walk In The Snark), shows that she can go into those long buried rooms, the ones we lock up deep inside, and share. 'These stories were there. I simply had to wait until my brain caught up.' ~ Rachel Thompson
