What if every lesson, every heartbreak, every joy, and every choice you've made-across lifetimes-was part of something bigger than yourself?
What if your soul remembered... everything?
Braids is a sweeping, genre-defying literary novel that weaves together nine self-contained stories, spanning centuries and continents, into one unforgettable tapestry of memory, identity, and transformation. Each chapter introduces a new protagonist in a different place and time-from the temples of ancient Egypt to the plantations of the American South, the markets of Morocco, the battlefields of Europe, and modern-day New Jersey. Though the characters never meet, their emotional experiences echo across time, revealing a mysterious, unseen braid connecting them all.
With rich historical detail and soulful emotional depth, Braids explores themes of reincarnation, ancestral wisdom, the sacred feminine, and the cycles of healing across generations. It is a meditation on how trauma, resilience, and love shape the human journey-and how healing is possible not just in this life, but across lifetimes.
Written in lyrical, immersive prose, the novel invites readers into a deeply spiritual and emotionally resonant experience. The structure of the book honors the feminine art of weaving and storytelling: nonlinear, intuitive, and multi-layered. Each story stands on its own, yet contributes to a greater whole-mirroring how we carry fragments of the past within us.
Braids is written for spiritually attuned, emotionally curious women who are drawn to stories of growth, healing, and soul evolution. These readers often seek fiction that validates their inner knowing, mirrors their personal journeys, and opens them to deeper truths about themselves and the world.
Ideal readers include:
- Women aged 30-65 who are engaged in spiritual practices such as tarot, astrology, journaling, or shadow work
- Readers who attend women's circles, healing retreats, or personal development workshops
- Therapists, coaches, and energy workers looking for meaningful fiction that supports their inner work
- Book clubs searching for stories that spark layered, soulful discussions
- Fans of Sue Monk Kidd, Elizabeth Gilbert, Octavia Butler, Rebecca Campbell, and Matt Haig
Braids includes LGBTQ+ narratives, themes of earned sensuality, and unflinching yet compassionate portrayals of oppression, violence, and marginalization-always approached with emotional truth and a commitment to healing. At its core, the novel is a love letter to the soul's resilience, a celebration of feminine power, and a sacred invitation to remember who we've always been.
