Reviews
A Zibby Owens Most Anticipated Title ""Poignant. . . Heartbreaking yet hopeful, Pieces You'll Never Get Back embodies a woman full of grit and the determination to rediscover herself and heal from inconceivable damage.""--Booklist (Starred Review) ""A searing memoir. . . Supple, luminous prose carries a message of near inconceivable resilience and hope. Pieces You'll Never Get Back is an inspiring memoir about rising from despair and triumphing over catastrophic brain injury.""--Kristine Morris, Foreword Reviews A San Francisco Chronicle Most Anticipated Book of the Year ""A unique record of what it is like to lose everything we think of as ourselves, and to painstakingly reclaim it.""--Kirkus Reviews ""In Pieces You'll Never Get Back, Samina Ali weaves a deeply moving story of resilience, spirituality, and the bonds that unite us across faiths and cultures. It is both a call for greater awareness of maternal health and a celebration of our shared humanity. A powerful testament to hope."" --Reza Aslan, author of An American Martyr in Persia ""In this vivid and visceral tale of a childbirth gone unimaginably wrong, what rivets most is the author's fierce and enduring will to make herself whole by writing her story. A triumph."" --Amy Irvine, author of Trespass and Desert Cabal ""Every woman, and every man in her life, should read this book. Beautifully crafted, clear, and disarming, it is not a new motherhood memoir so much as it is a profound meditation on faith and connectedness, the self and uncertainty, and above all, recovery and resurrection. It's an intimate portrait of one woman as she moves amid the wilderness between life and death, and it is astounding."" --Nina McConigley, PEN Open Book Award-winning author of Cowboys and East Indians
