Mosaic- A Woman’s Anthology is a powerful reflection of what can happen when women come together with courage and purpose. This anthology is the newest book published by The Eden Jar. This is a true testament to unity, resilience, and shared vision.

At the event, some of the authors will be sharing their personal journeys and reading extracts from their work. Eight women came together to share their story of past hurt, betrayal and abuse. For some, they are still go through it, but they realised the power of intention and the power of turning pain into purpose.
