“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.”

—Kathleen Brehony, PhD author of Awakening at Midlife, Ordinary Grace, After the Darkest Hour and Living a Connected Life

Terry Jones-Brady's A Mosaic Heart is a story about resilience, transformation and opportunities that suffering offers for newfound wisdom and spiritual growth. Both of Terry's daughters, Heather and Holly, were born with cystic fibrosis. After these devastating diagnoses, Terry began an unfathomable journey. This is a story of two loving parents and their 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 did 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.
