Melissa Cistaro discusses and signs Pieces of My Mother: A Memoir

One summer, Melissa Cistaro's mother drove off without explanation.  Devastated, Melissa and her brothers were left to pick up the pieces, always wondering why their mother left them.  Thirty-five years later, with children of her own, Melissa finds herself in Olympia, Washington, as her mother is dying. After decades of hiding her painful memories, she has just days to find out what happened that summer and confront the fear that she could do the same to her own kids. But Melissa never expects to stumble across a cache of letters her mother wrote to her but never sent, which could hold the answers she seeks.
