Book launch: "Healing Falls" by Faith Eidse, TWA booth, Word of South

Cinnamon Rose and her sister are ducking and hiding for their lives. Will the gunmen who shot their father come for them next? Just when Cinny is returning to her edgy art, creating a safe home for her children, she relapses and lands in the hospital, pregnant, with criminal charges pending. Will this be her healing fall?

Set in and around Cascade Park, Faith Eidse’s novel has been called “a multi-layered story of gritty survival and redemption; visionary, timely, touching, a wonderful read” (Michael Morris, author of Man in the Blue Moon, calls the novel).

Nina Sichel writes, “Healing Falls offers a vision of real, important prison reform and a clear call for social justice and mother-child reunion.” Sichel co-edited with Eidse, a Hachette title, Unrooted Childhoods (now a Princeton textbook) and Writing Out of Limbo. Eidse won an oral history award for Voices of the Apalachicola, and published a biography of her Canadian missionary parents. She is senior editor at FLHealth and adjunct English prof at Barry U.
