A Thousand Pieces of Paradise is an ecological history of property and a cultural history of rural ecosystems set in one of the Midwest’s most historically significant regions, the Kickapoo River Valley. Whether examining the national war on soil erosion, Amish migration, a Corps of Engineers dam project, or Native American land claims, Lynne Heasley traces the history of modern American property debates. Her book holds powerful lessons for rural communities seeking to reconcile competing values about land and their place in it.

A Thousand Pieces, questions we ask in the mystery of our daily lives as we try to hold it all together like James and Kelly, a married couple dealing with the tribulations of a separation. Once they think everything in their lives has already been turned on its head, all of their problems become petty and trivial when faced with a crisis. They are forced to put their differences aside and come together for a common cause: their daughter. This touching story about love, loss, family, friends and coming together is uniquely as heart-warming as it is heart-breaking. A deeply emotionally debut novel from award-winning filmmaker, Ian J. Keeney, A Thousand Pieces is suspenseful from beginning to end.
