false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1233671544m/4296443.jpg 4296443 1 Two years after being airlifted out of war-torn Vietnam, Matt Pin is haunted: by bombs that fell like dead crows, by the family -- and the terrible secret -- he left behind. Now, inside a caring adoptive home in the United States, a series of profound events force him to choose between silence and candor, blame and forgiveness, fear and freedom. By turns harrowing, dreamlike, sad, and triumphant, this searing debut novel, written in lucid verse, reveals an unforgettable perspective on the lasting impact of war and the healing power of love. 4344030 1 4 2009 All the Broken Pieces total:154|5:46|4:75|3:31|2:1|1:1| 154 626 333 72 5 5 false false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 07:37:04 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 08:17:56 -0700 2009
