Cinnamon and her sister are ducking and hiding for their lives. Will the gunmen who shot their father come after them next? Just when Cinny's returning to her edgy art, creating a safe home for her children, she relapses and lands in the hospital, pregnant, with criminal charges pending. Will this be her healing fall? Back inside, Cinny gives birth in shackles and has to give up her baby. Aching for her child, she seeks comfort by graffiti-tagging the chaplain's office. Chaplain Hope is at first annoyed, but gradually won over. Together they develop a vision for prison reform. But in the process, Cinny is sent to solitary for not revealing what she knew about a drug ring operating inside. Isolated in lockup, Cinny feels all is lost. Unless she can sketch a way out. Along the way, Cinny touches and affects many lives: a human trafficking victim seeking clemency, a woman pressured to give up her baby for adoption, and a bitter guard who acts heroically in a tornado. The chaplain transforms her rigid thinking, finds a true friend in the warden, and her faith restored in her family. Also, through Cinny's intervention, her dorm assistant is given back a life she thought she'd lost. In the end, Cinny discovers a dream even bigger than she can ask or imagine.

Faith Eidse was inspired to write "Healing Falls" after volunteering six years in women's prisons, and resonating with mothers separated from children. She, too, was separated from family during revolution in Congo, and while raised in Congo, Canada and the U.S. She co-edited a Hachette title, "Unrooted Childhoods" (now a Princeton textbook), and "Writing Out of Limbo." Eidse won an oral history award for "Voices of the Apalachicola," the Kingsbury Award for her memoir-writing, and published a biography of her Canadian linguist and medical missionary parents, "Light the World." She is adjunct English prof at Barry University and senior editor at FLHealth, where her "How to Write" series is video-conferenced statewide.
