Colour of My Heart: A true story of love, suffering and redemption - Hardcover

by Stacy Nicholson (Author)

Colour of My Heart is a starkly honest, often harrowing account of the human spirit's struggle with and ultimate triumph over adversity.

Set initially in rural Bosnia, formerly part of Tito's Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia, and later Australia.

One of four children Stacy, the daughter of austere parents who worked the land. Village life among the farming community of Bosnia was very far from idyllic, but what peace did prevail there was shattered by the horrors and atrocities of the Bosnian War, which so tragically tore the family apart. After the war the family eventually settled as refugees from religious persecution in Australia where Stacy, by nature hardworking and diligent, started a family with her Bosnian husband, achieved professional success and for the first time found love, only for tragedy to strike again. Trapped in a loveless marriage and afflicted by ongoing family strife, Stacy succumbed to a crippling mental illness.
