A Mosaic Heart: Reshaping the Shards of a Shattered Life
Winner of a Silver Prize in the 2012 Nautilus Book Awards
Terry Jones-Brady is a wife, a mother, an educator, an actress, and a strong and deeply spiritual person. A Mosaic Heart is her story—a story of the power of love, the tragedy of loss, and the beauty and depths of the human spirit.
Both of Terry’s daughters, Heather and Holly, were born with cystic fibrosis. After these devastating diagnoses, Terry began an unfathomable journey. In this book, you will get to know two loving parents and their two wonderful girls, who exhibited the strength and wisdom that children with life-threatening illnesses often possess. Though Terry’s daughters did not survive their illnesses, the story does not end there. The broken heart can be powerful—and this story clearly illustrates that message in Terry’s life as she survived not two but three deaths, grieved, searched for understanding, and, finally, found love and happiness again.
This book will speak to your heart and offer you hope that life, with all its joys and tragedies, is meant to be lived fully, faithfully, and lovingly. A Mosaic Heart was published with Quartet Books in Charlottesville, VA.
