Description

A mother’s heart can be full of love, and still break a thousand times….

It’s been two years since her 4-year-old son…her baby…her Owen disappeared from his bed in the middle of the night. Every day Eleanora waits for news that he’s been found. And every day she lives with the nightmare of knowing that she failed to protect her son. 

Intuition tells her that Owen is alive and Eleanora shuts out everyone who doesn’t believe. But she fails to see that her single-minded hope has come at the expense of everything else she used to care about. With her career ruined, her marriage disintegrating, and her family coping with the loss in ways she can’t understand, Eleanora is left trying to claw her way out of the black hole her world has become. 

When an unexpected surprise suddenly offers Eleanora a second chance at happiness, she is shocked to feel…nothing. Doubting her own worth, questioning her right to find peace and still praying for her son’s return, Eleanora struggles to see that life, ugly and painful as it can be, might still be worth living.

essica Maffetore is the author of Eleanora in Pieces, a women’s fiction novel, coming September 5th, 2024 from Black Rose Writing. 

Jessica is a New England based author whose work has appeared in several literary magazines including Poetry Quarterly, Sou’wester, Route 2, OVS, Third Wednesday and Clare Literary Journal. She has also been a guest columnist in the Fitchburg Sentinel & Enterprise.

Her greatest writing honor was having Margaret Atwood once read one of her stories which she graciously called “evocative, chilling and deeply human.”

When she is not writing, Jessica is training to run marathons with her husband, going for walks with their rescue dogs, being tolerated by her teenage kids, growing vegetables in her garden and dreaming about where to travel to next. 

Jessica attended the University of Hartford for Public Relations and Journalism and holds a Master of Arts degree in English Literature from Fitchburg State University. Jessica lives north of Boston with her husband, three children, the aforementioned rescue dogs and a pair of very opinionated house cats.
