Pieces

<p><span>Maya is navigating life after a turbulent time. From living in care, to surviving on the streets, to moving in with her grandparents, then away to college and finding a home with her friend Deena; Maya is still young but she has lived many lives. As she relives memories, going over the people she knew and the places she moved through, it is clear the past cannot simply be left behind; its lasting effects shape us all, and Maya must work through them in her own way. In this book that combines prose and poetry, these memories are configured and organised into fragments that allow Maya''s experiences to be processed creatively, and viewed from her own unique perspective. Now, she has the chance to start again with a new baby, and a renewed motivation to construct her own life.</span></p>
