Anna, the main character, finds herself immersed in a sequence of events that involve friendship with Rose, a Native American. Deceit, treachery, and fraud enter real life. The spirit world encompasses the two women's way of life.
A blackbird named Caw twists Anna, and Roses lives toward new, and unforeseen events. They share this part of their lives with the spirit bird. At times the bird enables Anna to deal with the spiritual world and helps her to remember her past. A love interest develops between Anna and Sam, a Native American attorney, who takes an interest in her, and the Indian artifacts. A connection to Indian artifacts leads to accidents, crime, abuse, arson, and murder.
Pottery, quilting, and painting are interests that bind the two women in an exciting experience for the reader. Memories of her early childhood at the family farm, a winter storm, an art gallery, and a local cafe are all parts of an intriguing novel.
Pieces are the title because many pieces were the reason the story was written.
