ABOUT THE BOOK
Set on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 1720, the story begins with a haunting act of violence—an enslaved boy’s life is cut short by a knife to the heart. Yet, centuries later, this very same boy’s life is saved by the hands of the man who once ended it, now reincarnated as a skilled heart surgeon. What follows is a journey that connects their shared pasts and present lives, revealing a complex web of relationships, karma, and spiritual lessons that bind not just these two souls, but also their families and all the lives in between.

A great read weaving the author’s experiences with near-death experiences, reincarnation, addiction, and the rich culture of the eastern Shore of Maryland into a heartwarming, thoughtful tale. Ultimately it is about the power of love.

This book brought back memories of growing up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the 70’s. Details were wonderful. I’m not that knowledgeable on reincarnation, etc so also learned a great deal. Quick read, awaiting the next book and movie!

A very compelling story. It was simple, yet complicated. It had humor and gut wrenching sadness. I literally laughed and cried! Finished it in one afternoon and already miss the characters.

An unforgettable read
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2024
This novel is a wonder. Read with an open heart and open mind and be drawn into a journey of discovery by characters of depth who immediately capture–and hold–the reader’s interest and sympathies. They gently introduce us to themes of reincarnation, near-death experiences, and — in essence — the connectedness of each of us to one another, perhaps to those of another place and time, and to the Divine. In an era of widespread mistrust and hate, this story is a balm that reminds us of the essence of what makes us human. This is something I thought about as I read the story, and am still thinking about.
