Fragments: Journeys from Isolation to Connection (2nd edition)

Eight lives untethered.

Eight voices in the dark.

Eight stories of adversity.

Eight lost souls looking for hope.

Tasked with a creative exploration of their mental health and wellbeing, eight students are plunged into the harsh terrain of their psyches, each a fragment of an elusive whole. With seemingly nothing in common, will they ever find their way back ... to themselves and each other?

An unflinching glimpse into young people's lives today.

Riveting. Real. Relatable.

Adapted from the widely acclaimed play, Fragments by Maura Pierlot.

2nd edition (2023) includes updated and expanded content.

Printed in narrative (hybrid) format with illustrations/graphics.

Adapted by the author as an eight-part WEB SERIES (release date: 23 February 2023), supported by the ACT Government.
