review 1: 30 something Sara Butler has built a wall around her heart. Her closest friends, Erick & Matt (both gay men who are an absolute scream) and Hahn (a diva who is never without a snappy comment) have no idea Sara is plagued by dreams that are somehow connected to a troubled past.I was fully on board as Sara drove cross country with “her boys” and summoned the courage to confront her horrific roots. I found myself breathless as the details of Sara’s heartbreaking past were revealed. And the dialogue had me alternating between laughter and tears. I loved, loved every scene with Erick and Matt and the way Hahn rounded out this funky family of friends. I was particularly drawn to Ida who radiated such warmth and offered a real sense safety and belonging that Sara had never ... moreknown as a child.Patchwork of Me is compelling story of a damaged young woman who confronts her demons from long ago and discovers a future where there’s room for friendship, family and love.
review 2: At some point in our lives, we all confront the need to find ourselves and the journey we take will define us from that point forward. Novelist Gregory G. Allen, author of the acclaimed “Well With My Soul” and “Proud Pants,” has returned with a new story that is just as heart wrenching, touching, and ultimately timeless as his previous works.“Patchwork of Me” is the tale of Sara Butler. Raised by child services, she faces adulthood with no solid foundation in her past. Working with a therapist, Sara tries to rid herself of maladies thrust upon her by the tortured life she lived in foster care. Finding herself among the devastation of her youth, Sara will travel cross country to Maine to confront the components of the existence she left behind; but she discovers that her departure was only physical. Deep inside she is still a prisoner of her own memories, hurts, and unhealed wounds.“Patchwork of Me” gives the reader a story which he can lose himself within as Sara’s journey wends its way toward an emotional conclusion. Powerfully human, told with a deftly skilled hand, this is a book that will resonate with readers for years to come. less
