When her daughter was just over a year old, Leslie Jamison and her husband separated. Splinters is a razor-sharp dissection of the collapse of that marriage and the explosive emergence of single parenthood. It is that, and, at the same time, so much more. Because at the painful intersection of motherhood and divorce, the author offers us a relentless and moving exploration of love in its many and often imperfect forms. With extraordinary courage, Jamison examines her vulnerabilities, contradictions, and attempts to fit into a world where familiar narratives have shattered.
