Karsen Woods’s life seems charmed, from her hunkalicious boyfriend to her picture-perfect midwestern roots. Away at college, even the necklace she wears serves as a constant connection home – a family tradition created when her grandfather handmade each immediate relative an interlinking charm. Each piece crafted in the shape of a puzzle piece, each one interlinking perfectly together. But when the unexpected death of her mother turns her world upside down, she discovers there is a missing piece of her treasured family tradition, and her life as she once knew it may never be the same.

Addison Reynolds resides in her posh Manhattan condominium and wraps her personal identity around running Urbane, the magazine empire built by her father. In a moment of haste, Addison divulges her deepest secret to her closest friend Emily – a secret she never intended to disclose.

Could one choice, one secret, bond two unlikely women forever?

“There is mystery, heartache, loss and finding home — what a great recipe for a novel!” ~ A Novel Review

“There was a lot to love about this fresh, sweet story from debut novelist Misa Rush, and love it I did.” ~ Baffled Books

“… I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a story that will make you laugh and cry. It’s such a great story of loss, family, love, friends, and renewed hope. It was such an easy read and I found myself lost in the story, wanting to see what was going to happen next. I hope to see more from this author in the future!! {and I agree, this would make a great Lifetime movie!!!}” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars

“Laughter, tears, romance, heartbreak, good decisions, bad decisions. All in a fast moving story. Yes, a perfect Saturday break. Misa did an excellent job developing characters that you can connect with and care about. She moved them through crises and triumphs at a good pace that kept you interested and involved. Well done!” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars

When the inspiration first struck to begin writing a novel, Misa Rush had no idea where she’d find the time. Most of FAMILY PIECES was written between 1:00-2:00 A.M. Add two pregnancies, a three-year-old, a husband, a household, then throw in an economic downturn for her insurance agency just to complicate the task a wee bit more…and it’s sheer determination that completed the task.

Determination has never been lacking in her persona. Growing up, she competed in gymnastics for 18 years including four on a full-ride scholarship to Eastern Michigan University. She’s also ran two and a half marathons, the half of which holds a story all its own.

Misa Rush graduated from Arizona State University with a Masters of Business Administration. She currently resides in Gilbert, Arizona with her husband and two children.
