Have you ever thought about reincarnation? Being born again and again, having no memories of former lives, yet being linked for all eternity with past experiences. Magda McClellan didn't believe, she also didn't believe in witchcraft. But in 1718 Scotland, when Auld Annie, a witch being charged for witchcraft offers her a gift, a wish, Magda declines saying she likes her life just fine. She has a loving husband and a child on the way. But little did she know that denying the wish would not only change her life, but that of another one of her lives, a life in the future. Maggie McDonald and her husband yearn for a child. After years of trying and failing, their last resort is in vitro fertilization. But when Maggie wakes up from the anesthetic she is in 1718 with Magda's husband, and Magda is in 2002 with Maggie's husband. Both women have to figure out how to return to their own times, but in the process they fall in love with the other's husbands. Will they make it back into their own bodies before it's too late to turn back?
 
I had met Laurel Bradley in Green Bay at the WisRWA conference and when I said that I'd read her book I had no idea how much I was going to enjoy it. The concept of reincarnation is something that a lot of people have thought about, or debated over. And I had never really thought about a life being reborn again and again. This book is a great read, and it brings to light questions that are always at the back of your mind but that are never really thought about. Why are we here? What is our purpose? And what is waiting when we die?
