’You immediately come to care about these women and about what will happen to them,’ Donna Foley Mabry, Bestselling Author of Maude.’Fiction though this book may be, these stories are built from truth and history,’ Pooled Ink Reviews on Goodreads.The stories span a range of emotions and also bring to life the varied culture and social spectrum of India. Set in the nineteenth century, A Tapestry of Tears is about a young mother’s struggle to save her infant daughters from the remorseless practice of kurimar - the putting to sleep of female infants at birth. This collection of a novelette and twelve short stories explores relationships and the strength of the human spirit. A grieving husband resents the presence of his new daughter-in-law. Deafness has nothing to do with communication in a marriage, or does it? Women use embroidery to create a talisman for pain. Then there is the man who loves playing mind games at his wife’s expense, a family that struggles with the decision to move the aged mother into a home, and a young woman who sacrifices love for family honor.
