Lyn Groves officially launched her first book on the 7th of May through The Book Cow in Kingston.
A wonderful event, where Lyn was interviewed before answering questions for her engaged audience.
The Last Pieces of Me is a powerful but tender portrait of lost innocence, resilience, memory, and the fragments that make a life whole. Through a strong narrator’s voice, the novel explores the scars of trauma, the tenacity of love, and the cost—and power—of forgiveness. It reveals what it takes to make peace with the past.
