Dancing in the Shadows of the Dead

by Jana Matheson

We have all lived many lifetimes - and some of us must go back. A brooding and gripping tale of love lost in a past life and found in the present, of our spiritual journeys and the inherent obligation of being born . . . and born again. Paige Brighton is about to leave her abusive husband and start life anew with wealthy psychiatrist Neil Carmichael. But before she can escape, an ethereal lover from a past life appears, changing her world forever. Paige is compelled to follow the beguiling apparition through the portals of Time. She is transported to the year 1906 to reunite with her phantom lover in the California coastal town of Methodists and miscreants—Pacific Grove. There, amidst the fog, ever-changing seascapes and oppressive mores, she relives a tender, tragic life. Paige’s harrowing trances threaten her privileged existence in Newport Beach, and alarm the enamored Neil Carmichael, who fears for her sanity. And the grave warning of her psychic friend Lucetta haunts "If you wander too far or too deep, you won’t be coming back." But Paige Brighton now
There are such things as ghosts.
There are obligations beyond the mortal world.
We have all lived many lifetimes . . . and we can return.
