About this audiobook
With her acclaimed hardcover debut, No Place Like Home, readers enthusiastically welcomed Barbara Samuel into the ranks of bestselling women's fiction, applauding her stirring novel of loss and redemption. In A Piece of Heaven, she shares another poignant tale rich in atmosphere and insight that explores the complexity of relationships, the importance of family, and the healing power of love.
In the sun-baked hills of New Mexico, Luna McGraw has lived a lifetime of regrets, struggling to conquer the demons that destroyed her marriage and caused her to lose custody of her beloved daughter. But as Luna fights to rebuild a relationship with the troubled teenager, she remains haunted by images of her own childhood and the father she barely knew.
Strong and resilient as the houses he builds, Thomas Coyote comes into Luna's life one extraordinary night when his grandmother nearly dies while conjuring a fiery brew of spiritual enchantment. Luna does not need a man- especially one with a needy ex-wife-to complicate her fragile dreams of the future. Their attraction pushes them both beyond reason into a place where there is only possibility. Yet it will take more than passion to recover the tattered pieces of Luna's soul, more than time to forgive the sins of an offending husband, and more than promises to mend the broken heart of a child.
A Piece of Heaven is an irresistible novel full of colorful characters and lush settings spiced with the magical flavors of the Southwest, a brilliant tapestry of romance and realism by a master storyteller.
From the Paperback edition.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A woman alcoholic in recovery regains custody of her teenage daughter & finds romance. Slightly sexy. Good relationships between women. Good teen character.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Samuel's gentle romance weaves together the stories of a handful of life-damaged people trying as best they can to fit their lives back together. With a cast that includes a recovering alcoholic, a twice-divorced man who collects strays, an elderly bruja, two young girls hurt by their fathers' absences, and a grieving widow.... It's a novel of family, self-discovery, relationships, and love. Of pain accepted and burdens lightened in the sharing. Not a demanding story, it unfolds quietly, inviting the reader to accept that people are human and sometimes life means taking risks, getting hurt, and simply finding happiness in those around us.
