Lessons in Resilience Highlight New Novel, 'The Braiding of Diverse Lives'

SAN DIEGO - Dec. 14, 2017 - PRLog -- During times of societal upheaval and challenging personal circumstances, stories of the human condition help provide understanding and meaning to those experiences. In her first novel, 'The Braiding of Diverse Lives,' Marti Eicholz weaves together stories about two young women who rely on their inner fortitude and perseverance in order to overcome life's struggles and traumas. In these stories are lessons about love, hardship, compassion and the resilience that resides within the human heart.

The protagonist is Mitsy Fisher, a preacher's daughter who grows up, explores the world and returns to her rural hometown to open a home for children in need. After a devastating fire destroys the home and critically injures Mitsy, her loving partner Andy stays by her side and reads to Mitsy from her own journals—compelling stories from earlier parts of Mitsy's life, including her sometimes traumatic and lonely childhood.

Carefully layered around Mitsy's journal narratives and the chapters that detail her recovery from the fire and rebuilding her programs for children, are stories of a girl named Angel. Raised by neglectful drug addicts, Angel endures a difficult start in life and runs away in search of a place to belong. Eicholz skillfully and thoughtfully combines and parallels the stories of Mitsy and Angel, and a world of connections and synchronicity unfolds as their lives eventually intersect.


"This story, hopefully, teaches the true meaning of love and family, the importance of growing up in a healthy, loving environment," says Eicholz. "There are many spiritual lessons interwoven in this fictional work. All of these are applicable to people who seek healing."

'The Braiding of Diverse Lives' is published in ebook and paperback formats by eBookIt.com and is also available at popular online retailers including Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and Apple's iBookstore.
