RETURNING SOULS DESCRIPTION

Evie D'Arico is just like any other 67-year-old retiree until a sudden stroke puts her life in jeopardy, and catapults her soul through multiple lifetimes. After drifting through space where time has no meaning, Evie awakens to find herself in the body and mind of someone else. She realizes she is experiencing her soul's past life on Earth as Astara, a young girl who lived during the Mesolithic Era of human prehistory.

Evie soon melds into Astara, who has just experienced the Girl's Coming of Age rite, a ritual of the Golden Fish tribe. On her quest, Astara saw herself as a Three Face - a powerful combination of male, female and animal elements - making her a potential spirit leader. But the Holy One of the Golden Fish tribe does not want to acknowledge another seer within his realm, especially a defiant young female Three Face. Astara is given a choice either to live as an unremarkable woman of the tribe, or to leave her home and family on an unprecedented journey into unknown territory, and establish her own following as a Three Face.

Through living a few crucial days as Astara, Evie comes away with new self-knowledge and an appreciation for the courage of the young girl she was in a past life.

She still has unanswered questions about the meaning of her current lifetime. Her soul relives Evie's life, recalling the impact of her sister Liliana, and reliving her upbringing during the 1950s and 1960s. She meets trusted Guardians along the way who help her recognize the end results of her own actions. As the disjointed revelations of her soul's journey come together the puzzle of her life takes on new meaning, and she is faced with the possibilities of her own future.

Evie realizes she must decide who she really wants to be. Only she can choose the next stage of her soul's epic journey through lifetimes.

What will she choose? Who will she be?
