Filling Gaps with Broken Pieces

Introduction Many years ago two hearts from opposite sides of the racial track joined together to become one. Filling Gaps with Broken Pieces is a brief poetic expression of our forty year marital journey along life's thoroughfares peppered by roadblocks, detours, and the gridlock of city streets. In the spirit of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of piecing back broken pottery together with gold, Filling Gaps with Broken Pieces equally reflects on our admission that we are broken together and like broken pottery, people with cracks can be made whole and useful again. This book was written as a literary legacy to our family and others who seek beauty for ashes.
