Being the father of several children, including a young son with a rare chromosome deletion, Citizen Edwards draws a lot of inspiration and experience in this story from having a family member with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Writing this novel will be a kind of cathartics for Citizen. The setting of A Million Missing Pieces takes place in the fascinating historic community of St. Augustine Florida. It’s the nation’s oldest city- founded in 1565, it is filled with 450 years of Spanish-English-American history, folklore and legend. St. Augustine will be a huge character role itself in A Million Missing Pieces.
