What do you do when life falls apart—piece by piece?

Lola spent years chasing love, validation, and success, believing they would make her whole. But after enduring betrayal, grief, and toxic relationships, she realizes that self-worth isn’t found in others—it must be reclaimed from within.
The Color of Pieces is a gripping and emotionally raw work of autobiographical fiction that follows Lola’s powerful journey of healing, rediscovery, and transformation. As she begins to confront the pain of her past and question everything she thought she knew about love and identity, she must decide who she is without the labels and expectations placed upon her.

Though Lola is a fictional character, her story is inspired by the real-life experiences of author Michelle E. Rhoney, whose first book, The Color of Pretty, gave voice to women facing colorism, self-doubt, and trauma—and led to the creation of a powerful movement of healing and empowerment.
