Bookroo's summary

Georgia McCoy, a young artist grappling with her mother's loss, receives an anonymous letter granting her a year-long museum pass. As she explores art and memory, her fractured family begins to heal. Who sent the letter, and how will it transform her world? Discover the journey of a grieving daughter and aspiring artist in this heartfelt novel in poems.

From the publisher

Like her mother, Georgia McCoy is an artist, but her dad looks away whenever he sees her with a sketchbook. Sometimes it’s hard to remember what it was like when her mother was still alive . . . when they were a family . . . when they were happy. But then a few days after her 13th birthday, Georgia receives an unexpected gift-a strange, formal letter, all typed up and signed anonymous-granting her free admission to the Brandywine River Museum for a whole year. And things begin to change.An accessible novel in poems, Pieces of Georgia offers an endearing protagonist-an aspiring artist, a grieving daughter, a struggling student, a genuine friend-and the poignant story of a broken family coming together.
