MISSING PARTS by Diana B. Roberts

In Missing Parts, a powerful and thought-provoking novel, the unbreakable bond of friendship is tested when Lacey Pierce encounters her childhood best friend, Mimi Faraday, in a Boston homeless shelter. The story delves into the complex factors that contribute to resilience in the face of mental illness and life's challenges, exploring why some individuals thrive while others struggle.

Lacey and Mimi's story begins in a charming New England town during the transformative 1960s and 70s, where they attend a prestigious prep school. After Mimi's wedding to Chapin, the couple embarks on a life of community service in Newfoundland, while Lacey joins the Peace Corps in Africa, all young, idealistic, and full of promise.

Fast forward to the summer of 1995, when Lacey's world is shaken by the discovery of Mimi among the homeless at a soup kitchen in a Boston cathedral. After a quarter-century in Newfoundland, Mimi has returned to Boston, destitute and living in a halfway house for abused women in Cambridge. The novel masterfully traces the parallel journeys of these two women over the intervening decades, revealing the twists and turns that led them to their current circumstances.

Missing Parts is a standalone fiction that explores the enduring power of friendship, the impact of life's choices, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Through Lacey and Mimi's story, readers are invited to contemplate the complex interplay of factors that shape our lives and the lives of those we hold dear.

Diana has been a professional fundraiser for many years serving major non-profits in the Boston area. Earlier in her career she served in the Peace Corps in North Africa and later as a speech writer in Washington, DC. She worked for several years on Tokyo as a feature editor of Yomiuri Shimbun, the major Japanese English newspaper.
