When a woman is cruelly cut down by muggers in London’s Hyde Park, her world shatters into a thousand fragments. Emerging from a coma some weeks later, she has no identification, no memory, no friends and no family to help in her convalescence. Is she a terrorist, a refugee or someone escaping from her past?

The police officer assigned to her case, becomes enmeshed in the woman’s psyche as he attempts to piece together the fragments of her life. As pressure on him mounts, his usually reliable professional judgment is brought asunder by unfamiliar and disturbing emotions. Eventually he has to confront demons from his own murky past.

Their two families, spread across four continents, are involved in an interleaved search for their own truths. In the process, well-established family dynamics begin to disintegrate. Past traumas come to light under ever-closer internal and external scrutiny.

What is it that links these tortured souls? Is it love or is it something else? Can there be a satisfactory resolution? What will be the effect on the two families, spanning four generations, from vastly different backgrounds?

That one cataclysmic event in Hyde Park causes a powerful knock-on ripple of psychic energy that affects every member of the traumatized families. Such energy uncovers pieces in a worldwide jigsaw puzzle, which reforms personal and inter-personal relationships. Maybe forever.

Written over a three-year period, the story, which is set in London, Vancouver, Sydney and Perth, draws from the authors’ true-life experiences; from their childhood memories, theosophical beliefs and their own healing therapies.

“Few authors have dealt realistically with this book’s delicate subject matter. ‘Fragments’ is an attempt to give subtle, positive messages about rebuilding lives in the aftermath of childhood trauma…”
