Official Review: Pieces of Me by Lizbeth Meredith

[nikkyteewhy]

This book is so emotionally draining and to see its a non fiction makes the sadness worse. A lot of people are going through tough times and I hope they find the light at the end of the tunnel. This is a very detailed review, thank you so much

Yes indeed it was.

If it had been fiction, I would have put it down and called the author unrealistic.

I love this line. It really sums up Lizbeth's struggle.
Thanks for the sincere review.

Ditto! Truth is really stranger than fiction. I cannot imagine the pain that Lizbeth went through. The title is evocative of the way she was shattered by her life experiences. I hope Lizbeth has found all the pieces, and they all fit snugly now.

I like your take on the title. I interpreted it as referring to her girls. I know I feel my children are pieces of my heart.

This sounds like an incredibly intense story, given all the elements you've described as being part of it... I can't imagine what it would be like to have dealt with all those things during your childhood, and then to see it happening to your own children and be unable to stop it... Thank you for your review, it sounds like a great book

This book is definitely interesting. It is so sad that this is nonfiction, and that this poor woman had to go through so much just to get her children back. What makes it even more interesting was that this was only in the 1990s, even though it sounds like something that could have happened in the early to mid 1900s. Women have had to struggle so much, and she is just another sad example.

I don't often read non-fiction, and this one sounds a bit dark and emotional. Good to hear that it is well written! Thanks for the review!

A heart wreaking read! I'm glad it is non-fiction it just shows how people suffer in life in different ways and the courage needed in life to push longer. This reminded me of a woman called Catherine, she was the first woman who fought for a mother's and a woman right in Great Britain for her own earning and custody to her children. This took place in the Victorian era. Sad affair but she won at last. It was a male dominant era at that time even though England was run by a queen. Thank you!

Cool. Is there a book about it?

This sounds really intriguing! Like teacherjh, do you perhaps have a recommendation if there is a book available for Catherine's fight for women's rights?

It is dark and emotional, but it is also full of hope and determination. That's what I liked best about it.

It amazes me how a story can be so tragic people question its validity. Goes to show we live in a mad world and depend on the perseverance of the strongwilled to make it better.

Well spoken. I believe in people changing the world, not systems or governments.

I’ve never heard of one, but I would read it.
