Carrigan is the author of several young adult novels that make you cry and whisk you to faraway places. Though born in Cullman, Alabama, she grew up in Birmingham and moved to Atlanta at 18. She earned her BA in English and her Master of Arts in Professional Writing at Kennesaw State University. For as long as she can remember, she was always making up stories and characters inside her head, sometimes using her dolls to act out the scenes. When she's not writing (which is rare), she's spending time with her family and friends, listening to music, playing with her furbabies, Ella and Ozzie, and cheering on her Atlanta Braves.

Just as Ava grapples with her new identity, a dark force reawakens. Devon, a vengeful enemy with a thirst for power, learns of Ava’s newfound status and reignites a centuries-old war that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear.

One second is all it took to destroy everything. Seventeen-year-old Corinne had it all—her family, her boyfriend, her future. Then, in one unimaginable moment, it was gone. Now haunted by nightmares, hallucinations, and panic attacks, Corinne sees only one way out. When she’s sent to a psychiatric facility, she shuts down. She doesn’t want help. Doesn’t want to talk. Doesn’t want to live. But healing doesn’t happen all at once. And surviving? That’s a choice she’ll have to make—over and over again. As Corinne slowly opens up to her doctor, she begins to relive the life she lost. But the more she remembers, the harder it becomes to face what comes next. Raw. Gripping. Unforgettable. Pieces of Me is an emotional journey through trauma, memory, and the fight to feel whole again. Perfect for fans of Girl in Pieces, All the Bright Places, and Thirteen Reasons Why.
