Synopsis

In the series' previous volume, seldom content Karen was shoved off a cliff while escaping a serial killer. While her body lay comatose in ICU, her soul occupied the 16th century body of Mariken. That woman was burned at the stake as a heretic releasing her soul to re-enter Karen's body. In this book, modern-day nurse practitioner Karen is a grieving military widow battling PTSD and also debilitated with guilt for cheating on her husband while he was alive. Fighting for normality, almost able to breathe again, it all falls apart when a disturbed veteran living in a homeless camp claims to be her lost fiancee from 1573 Antwerp. Unwilling to believe, Karen moves her family to the Washington State Palouse region to set up a new life for her children. Starting to move on, she has opened up to the possibility of love once more. Her life comes unglued again when the homeless veteran resurfaces as a cowboy on a neighboring ranch trying to make sense of 21st-century life in the American Pacific Northwest.

À propos de l'auteur

Born into a large blue collar family, Herbert Wiens was raised to value the rewards gained from hard work. Starting the summer after first grade, he tagged along with his older sisters as they boarded the "Bean Bus" at dawn to pick berries and string beans in Oregon's Willamette Valley. From then on, he never failed to have an after (or before) school job to help with family expenses. In high school, he started working on North Idaho ranches. In college, he fought forest fires in the summer and started working nights in a sawmill to pay tuition. His college experience was interrupted by a non-negotiable invitation from Uncle Sam, requesting his presence for the next few years in an all expenses paid, Vietnam era, tour of the world. Upon discharge, not having anything else better to do until he decided upon a future, he returned to the sawmill. Life got in the way for the next twenty years. Then, he became a small businessman for the next twenty. Now, he is spending his time using a keyboard to torture editors.
