With her highly personal style of writing, Terry Jones-Brady takes us into the innermost parts of herself as she experiences heartbreaking losses that shatter every notion of the life she thought she would live—creating a happy family with her husband and children. Jones-Brady writes with truth where there is no sentimentality or sense of being a victim, which comes from her deep roots and explorations of Source and Mystery that open her to a personal relationship with her God. A Mosaic Heart, with quotes from the plays of William Shakespeare beginning each chapter, can have meaning for all of us as we navigate our own unpredictable lives with losses and unfulfilled dreams and ask ourselves the questions of who we really are and how can we live fully the lives we have been given.

Terry Jones-Brady has endured more hardship than most of us could imagine, and her book, A Mosaic Heart, is a testimonial to the resilience of the human spirit and the human community. I hope that all who read it can learn from her story and follow her example of using grief as a spiritual path. Gregg Korbon, MD, author of Beyond Reason: Lessons from the Loss of a Gifted Child
Terry Jones-Brady captures the essence of what it means to live with a savage grace. The story she tells is about more than resilience. It is about transformation and the opportunities that suffering offers for newfound wisdom and spiritual growth. A Mosaic Heart speaks about inner strength and the ways in which we can all help one another heal [during] life’s inevitable losses. It is a book that you will return to again and again.
