Kim Danielson, the Author of “Piece by Piece, A Life Remembered though Things Lost” has written an intriguing and thought-provoking memoir. After a burglary in Kim Danielson’s home, she assesses the jewelry and special significant items that were stolen. Kim is relieved that her children and dog are safe, but regards the intrusion, mess and loss in her closets and drawers. I appreciate that the author vividly describes the jewelry items, so that we can visually see them. For each item the author writes her memories that go through the years and special occasions. I can reflect and identify with this process, as I can tell you the history of special pieces of jewelry, or items that are in my breakfront. These items were in most cases gifted to me by loved ones, family and friends. Some pieces that I have acquired are from vacations and special places that I have been to.
The Author discusses how the memories and history of each piece of jewelry is just as significant as the missing pieces. By writing the descriptions, and her memories down, she is still providing the history from the past, to the present and the future. The Author also mentions how she visits Pawn shops to see if she can find the lost special pieces. Her family and friends, do start to gift her significant pieces to remember the past and start new memories. I highly recommend this relatable and captivating memoir.
