Jamie Elliott arrives on St. Lucia, an island in the Caribbean, with her husband, Paul, who has taken a job there. Adjusting to island life is not hard for Jamie, in fact, she feels connected to the island and fits right in. Becoming fast friends with Paul's co-worker's wife, she explores the culture with Barbara, and finds a confidant in her. One she will need to help her cope with what lies in store for her. Jamie deals with her cheating and violent husband, the death of her mother and dreams that keep her from peaceful sleep. Her haunting dreams are much like ones she had as a child. But now they may be the key to a 200-year-old secret, as are the child's cross necklace and a Psalter that her mother left for her. Meeting Andre Demontagne also haunts her mind. Andre is the heir of a powerful island family, but more than that, he seems somehow familiar to Jamie. Perhaps they have met somewhere, some lifetime, before.
This intricately plotted story is romantic, mysterious and
entrancing. Island traditions and life add colorful aspects
to the tale. Synchronistic events with soul mate and kindred
spirit connotations create an air of mysticism and wonder
that will not soon be forgotten. I loved reading this book
and did not want it to end. Thankfully, the authors, Mala
and Roger Burt, writing under the pen name Annie Rogers, are
working on their second novel, which will be a continuation
of the book's family saga. I eagerly anticipate their work.
This book is highly recommended to anyone with a hint of
romance in their blood and those who believe that fate has a
hand in our lives.
