It's up to his favorite daughter, Jackie, to see if there are any pieces left of the "family" to put together.
PIECES OF YOU
What Reviewers are Saying:
“The storytelling in Pieces of You keeps the reader hooked to the page.
With Pieces of You, the writer shows a talent for writing engaging drama. The script keeps its pace moving along without glossing over character emotions. The dialogue is bouncy and fun to read, with it sounding genuine to how people, especially siblings, speak to each other. The twist is a make-or-break moment for the script. Some audiences might be somewhat turned off by it, but it is a vital part of the narrative and script. There are prior hints once the twist is unveiled, and even the script title is a hint. The writer has clearly crafted the script from the beginning with the twist in mind. The twist also provides a more exciting hook than down-to-earth drama.”
