Nine voices. One city. Too many secrets to stay hidden.

On a street corner in Chicago, a violinist plays each day, offering a melody to anyone willing to stop and listen.

And as they pause-artists, scientists, students, executives-he glimpses something beyond their polished faces: the unseen fractures, the invisible battles they carry.

But it's not his place to tug at the fraying threads of their lives.

They are already pulling at them, even if they don't know it yet.

And this week, each will have to decide:

Will they keep holding the image they've built?

Or surrender to the truth breaking through?

Told through nine unforgettable voices, Image of the Invisible is a lyrical and introspective debut that explores fractured identities, hidden struggles, and the quiet grace that finds us in the unraveling.

With grounded, honest prose, Fahrenbach traces the fault lines beneath our polished lives-offering a tender, unflinching portrait of what it means to be seen, known, and invited into redemption.

If you love the soulfulness of Wendell Berry, the redemptive tension of Charles Martin, and the lyrical beauty of Amanda Dykes, you'll find a kindred spirit in Image of the Invisible.

Blending the introspection of literary fiction with quiet mystery and emotional depth, this multi-voiced novel invites readers to pause, look deeper, and discover the grace quietly breaking through.

Note: This novel explores complex and sensitive topics. (Think PG-13, nothing graphic, but not necessarily family-friendly.)
