About this ebook

Don't judge a book by its cover. Mosaic is a contemporary story of survival; and, of hope and courage.

'The thing about abuse is you can't bury it like the dead. It's not a dead pet, or a dead loved one or friend. It stays in your heart... so for as long as it keeps beating... you have to keep living with it.'

Mosaic is a story about pain and suffering, yet it is also one of hope, redemption and finding love in the most unexpected places. In every sense, this is our story.

Betrayed…

Ralph was a victim of a paedophile, molested and raped as a child. It ended only when the abuser, a trusted family friend, was killed by his father. For years, he continued to struggle with the aftermath, courageously battling through the trauma.

Will he overcome them? Will his girlfriend's unconditional love be enough to get him through?

Wronged and scared…

Her husband shattered Kate's faith and belief. With her children in tow and her purse empty, she escaped as far north as Chicago to start afresh. Here, she also found her greatest allies. Then, quite suddenly, tranquillity was about to be shattered once more. They soon learned that her husband would be coming to Chicago.

Would they be able to protect them from this monster?

Secrets…

A child's simple sketch revealed a deep, dark, painful past. Secrets that cried out for justice.

Would justice be forthcoming?

Mosaic is an astounding story delving into the themes of falling apart and picking up the pieces. Trauma-and all its underlying effects-is quite hard to write about without the risk of romanticizing it but this book captured the whole picture magnificently without straying from the reality of the topic. The characters were beautifully written and the story itself does not only bring awareness but also hope to those who have experienced such a heinous thing like Ralph and Crystal did. The harmonious interaction between the other characters and these two was very wholesome. The amount of support they gave them is something that people can learn from when dealing with victims of certain events. Mosaic is a truly touching story and although some scenes are a bit too intense for certain readers, it's still a work of art that deserves a lot of recognition.

Like what the synopsis says, the author means it! Don't judge a book by its cover. Because behind this cover is something more than words and paper, it was far beyond what I've been expecting. I can't imagine that these things are real, and now that I've read this... It hit me as if I was in their shoes. I've felt and seen the agony, I don't really know what to say but after reading this I know for sure that we should be all kind to one another. Everyone is facing a lot. I just wanna commend the author for a job well done on this really amazing book. Absolutely exceptional!

Can't recall when was the last time I've read a book that was so intimate that you can actually be in one with the characters. I commend the author for the recognition she gave for this hidden matter on our society, and yes this may be fiction, but this is an example of the reality we are living in. It is up to us on how we see it. But once I've read this book, something definitely changed on my perspective on how things are.
