The Soul Retrieval: A Novel by Ann W. Jarvie is an uplifting and touching story of love, loss, redemption, and healing. The story is set in the 1950s and revolves around Henrietta Clayborn, who is living with her family in New Mexico's Medichero Indian Reservation in the doctor's cottage. She is hiding a secret from everyone; her family and her physician husband, Jeff, who is working in a hospital there. She is tortured by the fact she is hiding this secret from her family. It's at that juncture she meets a medicine man, Joe Loco, who understands her dilemma. Henrietta starts confiding in him. Will Joe be able to help Henrietta?

The story is complex and has many dimensions to it which makes it intense and profound. The story is beautiful and it takes readers between South Carolina and New Mexico. The narration is descriptive, making it very palpable and visual to readers. The spiritual journey undertaken by Joe and Henrietta is soulful and captivating, and it transcends the usual human boundaries. All the characters are well sketched, making their individual personalities stand out. There is much richness in the plot, which will open up many discussions in the minds of readers.

It's a well researched book that will help readers understand more about the wounded souls that live on earth and also about healing from loss, pain and trauma that one undergoes in their personal lives. The book is a combination of many emotions that makes it an interesting read. An excellent love story that has many dimensions to it. I enjoyed it thoroughly because there is a lot in the story to think about and understand.

I'm a bit quiet right now ...

6/11/2015

When I’m deep in research and working on plot development, which I am right now, I tend to get quiet, like clouds gathering energy within before a cleansing rain. As before, I’m exploring literary themes filled with secrets, mysteries and the taboo. I’m playing with various ‘what if’ scenarios. And even still wondering if this next novel will be a true sequel and continue Henrietta’s journey. Or if it will be more about her granddaughter … a character I’ve grown quite fond of. These thoughts have me pre-occupied. And amused. It’s all good. But if you don't hear from me for a while, you'll know why.
