In \u003ci\u003eSplinters, \u003c\/i\u003eJamison turns her unrivaled powers of perception on some of her most intimate relationships: new motherhood, a ruptured marriage, and the shaping legacy of her own parents' complicated bond.

The result is a work of nonfiction like no other, a deep reckoning that grieves the departure of one love even as it celebrates the arrival of another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e How do we move forward into joy while haunted by loss?
