Circles

by Inger Margaret Foster

Driven by the need to reconnect with a mysteriously connected family from the past, Grace Owens organizes a reunion at her father’s new home in Florida. Bringing virtual strangers together under one roof creates an intriguing and strange dynamic. An already surreal situation becomes further complicated by an otherworldly love triangle. Poignant moments of lingering grief contrast with warmhearted humor as lifelong bonds are formed. Friendships and love, old and new, ultimately connect the characters as they explore the cycles of the soul, and the circles in which they travel.

About the author

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Inger grew up in a small town in Northern New Jersey, where the passion for reading led to a lifetime of writing.

Inger holds a Masters Degree in Arts and Education. Her short stories written after a serious medical condition, eventually evolved into her first novel, The Final Canoe Ride. The book is the centerpiece for a nine book series entitled the Circles of the Soul.

In addition, Inger collaborated with Cathlyn A. Driscoll to create two children’s books (available only in print), both derived from the storylines set in two of the books in the series. Sitting outside of the series is the romantic ghost story, Always Just Beyond. This book-within-a book presents a whole new cast of characters, with a storyline connected to the 1850s house that she and her husband recently renovated in New England. Inger is a mother and a grandmother, and is currently involved in the creation and development of screenplays with JNAK Productions.

Recently she collaborated on another novel, The Idol Games, the first in a three book series.

A perfect sequel

Since I've read them in quick succession this seems so entangled with "Split Souls" it's hard to tell where one ended and the other started. I love this series and it really is like one long story. Some sequels can be anticlimactic and a bit boring but this never was as the characters sorted out the crazy circumstances that brought them together. I love the characters and the paranormal elements in this series.

The author continues to explore the journey of the soul and does so in a satisfying, dialogue-driven plot. Although readable on their own, there is no reason not to read all three books in this trilogy. All are fast reads and do build on each other. Foster clearly writes from her heart and gives the reader characters to care about.

I enjoyed this book on several levels. Always quick to jump into her stories, author Inger Margaret Foster manages to get straight to the point, while introducing a variety of character and reintroducing us to old favorites. (Or in some way connected to characters in the past) That is what draws me to Ingers work- we all have had some experiences in life we cannot quite put our finger on. Something known, something curious, something intriguing when coincidences start adding up. Time and time again we see ourselves back at the beginning- completing a circle.
