About The Book:
If things are “just things,” why does it hurt so deeply when we lose them?
When a home burglary strips Kim Danielson of heirlooms and other special keepsakes, she loses more than the items themselves. She is also robbed of tangible connections to her history, and physical reminders of loved ones who have died—igniting grief both old and new. Feeling the weight of disappointment for future generations who cannot inherit a piece of her family’s legacy, Kim creates a new and lasting heirloom, one that can never be stolen.
Perfect for anyone who has ever lost anything of meaningful value, this book provides solace and a new perspective on material possessions. A practical template for preserving a legacy with or without artifacts, Piece by Piece offers a unique take on loss through the lens of stolen objects and invites readers to tell the stories of their lives by telling the stories of their things.

Book Blurbs:
“When her home was broken into and her most precious family heirlooms were stolen, Kim Danielson thought she’d lost something irreplaceable. But in recalling the stories behind each piece taken, she uncovers a deeper truth about what endures and what fades, about the weight objects carry and the legacy they embody: our most valuable inheritances aren’t kept in safes but in stories. Poignant, tender, and full of hope, this memoir will leave you reflecting on what we leave behind, and what we pass on.” Mary Adkins, author of Palm Beach and You Might Feel a Little Pressure.
