All the Right Pieces

More about the book

Chap Smith suddenly finds himself in a noisy, crowded Virginia city, residing in a cramped apartment with his older sister, Lori--far from the quiet Indiana woods where he'd lived for sixteen years. He gets to know Owen, a wheelchair-bound boy who doesn't go to school. At Lori's wedding, he gets reacquainted with two of his older sisters who'd left home years before. Other experiences bring Chap face-to-face with heartbreak, violence, and death. Through it all, Chap sends letters to Chicago to the girl he loves and emails to his favorite teacher in Indiana while he searches for the missing pieces of his old life so that he will feel at home once again.
