Piece by Piece My Blended Experience of a Mosaic Family

By Dr. Steve Hudgins LPC NCC

Book Overview

A mosaic reveals that every piece, no matter how broken or irregular, has value in the whole. Dr. Steve Hudgins introduces the term "Mosaic Family" as a more accurate and hopeful alternative to the traditional label "blended family." This book is part of the Mosaic Family Series, which explores the individuals who make up the living system called family, drawing from Dr. Hudgins' research, lived experience, and the collective voices of those encountered through therapeutic practice.

What if your brokenness was not a flaw to hide, but the beginning of something sacred? In this powerful blend of personal story, clinical insight, and spiritual depth, Dr. Steve Hudgins redefines what it means to be a family after divorce. He invites us to move beyond the term "blended" and embrace the idea of mosaic families - families built not by force, but by intentional grace.

Through the lens of Mosaic Family Systems Theory (MFST), Dr. Hudgins offers a redemptive roadmap for those navigating second marriages, stepparenting, trauma, and identity repair. Drawing from years of lived experience, research, and therapy practice, this book will guide you through the grief, beauty, and boundaries that come with piecing a family together.

Whether you are a stepparent, an adult child of divorce, a therapist, a pastor, or someone longing to rebuild after emotional loss, this book speaks to the sacred art of becoming whole again.

"Your book is sheer Brilliance. You are an exceptional writer, and your vulnerability has me feeling like I'm reading secrets over your shoulder. I am deeply honored to read every single word. I know a lot about you from your writing. As well, much of it comes back to me after my 30-year marriage disintegrated." - Leslie Thomas Flowers, Global Educator
