Since his disappearance, Eleanora has lived half a life, tormented by her parenting mistakes and fueled only by the hope and the intuition that he might still be alive. It is a hope that costs her career, husband and friends. Now, presented with an unexpected chance at some happiness, she struggles with whether peace is even possible, and life is still worth living. From her home near Boston, Maffetore says of her novel "I hope readers walk away with a renewed sense of the strength of family, even in the worst of times, as well as the understanding that grief and healing look different for everyone." Early reviewers have called Eleanora in Pieces "lyrical," "gripping from the first page," "full of emotional depth," and "a poignant portrait of loss, redemption, and the relationships that tear us apart and bring us together." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: A life-long New Englander, Maffetore's short fiction and poetry has been published in various literary magazines, including Poetry Quarterly, Sou'wester, OVS, Third Wednesday and Clare Literary Journal. She has been a guest columnist in the Fitchburg Sentinel & Enterprise. Jessica considers her greatest writing honor having Margaret Atwood once read one of her stories which she graciously called "evocative, chilling and deeply human."
