About this item
Winner of the International Impact Book Award for Inspirational Fiction, Spiritual Fiction, and Multicultural Fiction — The MALA BEADS is a pay-it-forward tale that changes the lives of 36 people, using a single mala bead prayer necklace.
With witty, masterful writing, Kathy Aspden weaves a powerful story of resilience, faith, and the search for meaning when the world no longer makes sense.
Through the passing of a simple strand of beads comes a journey of courage, healing, and transformation. Beginning on an empty Cape Cod beach, traveling the Midwest and California, then into Vancouver, B.C., The Mala Beads takes the reader on an unexpected journey that challenges the heart, awakens the spirit, and reveals hope in the midst of chaos.
The Mala Beads is about human frailty and the enduring strength that can only come from a force greater than we know.
"The writing is witty, masterful, and fun to read." Madeline Miele Holt, Producer, Books and the World
”These are edgy and profound tales of hope, love, and connection, set against the backdrop of the 2020 pandemic. I read The Mala Beads with a smile on my face and a lump in my throat."
—Kathi Scrizzi Driscoll, former Arts Editor for the Cape Cod Times
"I love this book. Whether you read it in one sitting or experience it slowly, it's a book you'll want to share with friends, buy as a gift, or suggest for your book club—an easy read with a lot to say."
—Christine Merser, Writer, Managing Editor, Blue 2 Publishing
