When trauma tears us apart, can the pieces ever truly come back together? In The Pieces Join, Beth Keith offers a compassionate and courageous exploration of healing for those wounded by abuse within the Church.

While many works highlight the realities of trauma and misconduct, this book turns its gaze toward the slow, sacred process of recovery - of re-joining what has been broken. Drawing on moving personal accounts, survivor stories, and deep wells of Christian theology, Keith exposes the ways in which Church systems can both harm and heal. She weaves narrative and theological reflection into a tapestry of hope—where atonement, forgiveness, and shame are not easy answers, but part of a complex, grace-filled journey through pain.

The Pieces Join fills a vital gap in pastoral care literature, offering wisdom and clarity to those navigating the aftermath of spiritual and sexual abuse within Christian contexts. It speaks with insight and tenderness to all who seek to understand trauma within the Church - pastors, chaplains, and survivors alike. Beth Keith brings the wisdom of a theologian, the heart of a pastor, and the honesty of one who has walked alongside the wounded. This is not a book about patching over the past, but about how faith, when practiced with humility and truth, can help make something new and whole from what was shattered.
