Grace Foster has lived for decades with an inexplicable emptiness beneath her sternum, a phantom wound that no doctor has ever been able to explain. She has learned to treat it as part of herself, just as she has learned to live quietly among the fragile remains of other people's histories as an archivist in Edinburgh. Then one ordinary assignment changes everything.At a restoration workshop, Grace hears the voice of a young conservator named Julian Mercer. She has never met him, yet the sound of his voice awakens something buried far beyond ordinary memory. When she sees his face, an overwhelming vision carries her into a burning settlement, where she experiences the terror of losing a small child amid fire, smoke, violence, and chaos. From that moment, Grace can no longer dismiss the impossible connection between them.She begins to uncover a history that stretches across multiple lifetimes. In one existence she was a mother desperately trying to protect a child. In others, the roles between her and the soul she remembers as Julian change in unexpected ways. They meet again and again, sometimes as strangers, sometimes as family, sometimes as companions whose lives intersect only briefly. Each lifetime leaves behind another wound, another lesson, and another unfinished emotional bond.Grace gradually realizes that the devotion she has always understood as maternal love has also contained fear, grief, and an overwhelming need to protect. Her greatest challenge is therefore not finding the soul she has spent centuries searching for, but learning what it means to love without possessing, saving without controlling, and remembering without remaining trapped in the past.A Mother's Karma is an emotional reincarnation novel about motherhood, grief, attachment, forgiveness, and spiritual release. Through generations of separation and reunion, Grace discovers that some karmic bonds are not meant to last forever. Sometimes the final act of love is to open one's hands, release the ancient vow, and allow another soul to become completely free.
