The MALA BEADS ~ A Novel of Hope and Discovery in a Time of Chaos


By: Kathy Aspden

A mysterious mala bead necklace connects the lives of 36 people throughout the United States and Canada

—each needing a miracle.

The Mala Beads is a multicultural, connected-short-story novel. Think of it as watching your favorite anthology series—Modern Love, Black Mirror, True Detectives, The Twilight Zone—except not only is the theme connected, but the stories weave together to create the full arc of a complete novel. The MALA BEADS reads like a binge-worthy television series. Winner of the POTY Book Award for Multicultural Fiction. Finalist for The American Book Awards.

“The writing is witty, masterful, and fun to read.”

—Madeline Miele Holt, Producer, Book 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
