Threads of Purpose: A Novel (eBook)

$9.00

Threads of Purpose follows Asher Tidwell, a former medical resident whose life derails after a dangerous drug deal exposes the truth he’s been outrunning. With his career in jeopardy and his closest relationships crumbling, Asher retreats into the quiet of his apartment—only to discover that silence can be its own battlefield.

Driven by desperation, he turns to meditation and Buddhist teachings, hoping to steady his spiraling mind. But instead of calm, he confronts the truth he’s avoided for years: he’s living a life that was never truly his. Through Zen stories and uncomfortable moments of stillness, Asher begins to see his past, his passion for design, and his identity through a new lens.

As judgment day approaches, Asher must choose between clinging to a life defined by others or stepping into a purpose he can finally claim as his own.

“Threads of Purpose is a gripping and thoughtful novel that seamlessly weaves social commentary, character growth, and spiritual inquiry. The story’s strong pacing, layered foreshadowing, and vivid depiction of Houston—across race, class, and power—create an engaging narrative that confronts injustice while remaining deeply human. Asher’s meditation journey, rich with interior insight and quiet humor, anchors a conclusion that feels both earned and deeply satisfying.” Review by Jeff Stookey, Author of Medicine for the Blues Trilogy
