Granite and Gravity: In this life, prepare for the next

Aria was honored when the Council of Souls requested that she orchestrate her soul group's next life—this one in Manhattan during the late 1800s.

However, she quickly realized the group was disjointed, and the souls lagged behind in their growth. Each soul had difficulties that followed it from one lifetime to the next.

Aria was the most advanced in her group but a novice at crafting lives. When Vesta made an incorrect choice during her life, jeopardizing the entire soul group's success, Aria had to acquire approval from the Council of Souls for an intervention.

The group didn't know they were on Earth for a specific purpose. Instead, they struggled with their own insecurities and character flaws and blamed others instead of looking within for answers about the meaning and purpose of their lives.

The building of the East River (Brooklyn) Bridge is chronicled throughout the book.

Granite and Gravity is told from two perspectives: those living on Earth as well as their respective souls who review their lives upon return to the Soul World.
