FISTICUFF OF THE SOULS is a fictional novel based on the premise that man dies, but not his soul, no matter what his transgressions in life amount to. Salvation is the entitlement of the soul. But there is a catch. The soul must earn its amnesty by acknowledging its peccadillos of its volition, with no coercion from angels or allies. It could take eons for some of the souls to swallow pride, to flash a smile, to concede wrongdoing and to opt for salvation above self. The two women with chutzpa, Teru and Awra, show the lesser mortals how the former does it and the latter is likely to attempt it.
