    "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

Terry Jones-Brady is the author of A Mosaic Heart: Reshaping the Shards of a Shattered Life. A piece that became a chapter in the book was
awarded the William Brenner Prize for First Place in Non-Fiction at the 2010 Hampton Roads Writers Conference.

Terry was born in Richmond, Virginia, and grew up in Honolulu and San Diego. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley. After graduation she moved to New York City and studied acting, voice, and dance with the intent of making a career on the stage. Then, she fell in love with one of her theater directors and ended up living back in Virginia, where she acquired her Master of Arts degree.

She began to write as a way to deal with the heartache that life gave her when her children were born with the inherited and ultimately fatal disease cystic fibrosis.

Terry has written gardening columns for an Isle of Wight newspaper, articles for a multicultural publication serving the Suffolk area, and articles for the Well Retreat Center. Her poetry is published in Seabury in Memoriam: a Bicentennial Anthology of Poetry. Her short story, From Dropout to Entrepreneur, was published in Helping Troubled Children and Youth, Book 2 in the Troubled and Troubling Child Series.

Please join us at our next meeting, as we look forward to sharing stories with Terry about her journey as a writer and poet.
