The Unbroken Reflection: A Novel - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Meenakshi has spent thirty years casting the hand-forged metal mirrors her family is famous for, the first woman ever trusted with a formula guarded for generations. When a crushing debt and a developer's offer for her land arrive in the same season, the quiet inheritance she has protected her whole life is suddenly for sale. She must confront a rival craftsman whose dishonest shortcuts threaten to ruin the reputation of every honest workshop in her village, and an orphaned apprentice whose extraordinary gift for the craft breaks every rule about who is allowed to inherit it. Both will force her to ask whether the traditions she has spent a lifetime guarding were ever meant to be held so tightly. At stake is more than a business. There is the workshop itself, the only home she has ever known. There is a daughter, estranged for eight years, who returns during the crisis and asks to be trusted with everything her mother once refused her. And there is a secret Meenakshi has kept hidden for twelve years -- a cracked mirror, cast in grief, that she has never let anyone see. This is a novel about the difference between protecting what we love out of fear and protecting it out of faith. It is about mothers and daughters learning to speak honestly after years of careful silence, and about the courage it takes, late in a life carefully guarded, to finally open our hands. Readers of family sagas and stories of quiet resilience will find themselves inside this one long after the last page.
