Picking Up the Pieces
A Novel of Love, Memory, and Redemption

What if the person who helps you heal is also the one you may someday forget?

John is a former Air Force pilot facing the slow unraveling of his memory after an early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Susan is a woman on the run from the emotional scars of an abusive past. When they meet by chance in an airport terminal bound for Venice, neither knows their broken paths are about to collide—and intertwine.

As John follows the advice of his doctor to retrace the places of his youth, Susan finds herself unexpectedly pulled into his journey across continents: from the silent ruins of Kabul to the sunlit beaches of Brazil, from the mist-covered hills of the Azores to the solemn beauty of Japan. With each step, memory and trauma surface in unexpected waves, forcing both to confront what they've buried, what they've lost, and what they still long to find.

Written in a raw, lyrical style this is a story of fragile beginnings and fierce devotion. It explores the quiet courage of staying, the grace of second chances, and the holy act of loving someone not in spite of their scars, but because of them.

For readers who believe that healing is messy, that love is a daily decision, and that some stories live on even when memories fade—this is your story.
