New Line Press Recommends: Pieces of My Heart by Katy Ishee

Once in awhile a book comes along that, as Blues Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter Lonnie Mack says, "This story is so shocking and strong, you have to be strong to read it." 

Pieces of My Heart by Katy Ishee is that book!

When 17-year old Katy Ishee is forced to surrender her son to strangers, her life becomes a web of secrets, lies and rebellion...

Learn the hidden, yet true, secrets of how unwed mothers were treated by the System, and what actually goes on in government-approved mental wards. Take a trip with Katy to Haight-Ashbury during the historically pivotal Summer of Love, her long, strange trip through the brotherhood of motorcycling, four abusive marriages, dope and booze . . . nomadically headin’ down many highways, back-and-forth, stubbornly refusing to give up on her dream, everything hinging on her search for her only child. 


Journey thru Katy’s heart, mind and soul: she leaves no detail unturned, no emotion left unsaid in this gut-wrenching true story. 

Katy shares her experiences with us as waves crashing over the seasons of her life that make us feel we are being skinned alive without the benefit of anesthesia.
