Book Description

A stillborn child revived. The past and the future intertwined. One girl lives two very different lives.

By all appearances, Sorcha Sloane is a typical small-town teen taking twenty-first century life for granted. While two centuries in the past, Enid Thompson is a poor farmer’s daughter in colonial New England. But Enid and Sorcha are the selfsame girl – one soul split between two bodies in a link that stretches across time. Every night while Enid’s body is sleeping, she wakes in the future as Sorcha, just as the old medicine man prophesied at her birth. And every night when Sorcha sleeps, she wakes in the past as Enid, in a frontier world on the brink of war. She only trusts a chosen few with the truth, until Ben Webster comes into Sorcha’s life and tells her his family has been desperately searching for her for over two hundred years…

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!!! I mean awesome! November 4, 2012

WOW! I read so often that after a while you start to feel like books are running together and that you have read the same story who knows how many times, but I didn't feel that way about the book at all. I mean the fact that the main character has a soul that is divided is not exactly something you come accross everyday! I loved it because it was so different and the writing is just fantastic. You feel everything Sorcha and Enid feel and you cant help but feel sad for her in both her lives and yet hopeful everything will be ok. I don't want to give it away because this book is best without too much specifics I think. Just know this book is about a girl named Enid who was born in the 1700s with a soul that is split into 2 bodies. One in the 1700s and one in the current time period. She goes to sleep as Enid and wakes up as Sorcha in the current time period. My only critique would be I wish the relationships were developed a little more, but it didn't take away from how amazing it was to read. I'm definietly going to recommend this book to my friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't believe it... December 14, 2012
By Dumah
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am not, I repeat NOT, a fan of time travel-type stories. But when I saw that this book had ZERO bad reviews, I made myself try it, especially with such an unreasonable price of 99 cents. I say unreasonable because this author deserves so much more money for this incredible book. The characters are believable, relatable, and well-rounded. And I can't say I'm an expert on how things were done in the past, but it sounded spot-on to me.

Melissa Conway didn't shirk any corners, she didn't avoid explaining things that other authors would have, and she didn't let up on the action. The plot was solid; it never lagged, and whenever I put it down I picked it up five minutes later, dying to know what was next.

Thanks, Melissa, I finished this by six in the morning and I had to work at ten!
But seriously, pick up this book, readers. You will not be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting story
I liked this book. Doesn't feel like a story that's been told over and over again. The character development for supporting personalities was awkward at times.

More About the Author

My ebooks are always just $.99! They are written for older teens to adults and are a mix of genres. The award-winning Xenofreak Nation series is a gritty Sci-fi Dystopian, The Gossamer Sphere series is a near-future Fantasy/Sci-fi, and SelfSame is a YA Paranormal/Historical/Romance.

About me:
I grew up in the California bay area until my family moved to northern Idaho when I was in high school. I went to college there, and then moved to sunny San Diego, where my heart remains even though we are now located in southeastern Washington state. Moving gave me the opportunity to leave my job as an executive-level secretary in order to write full time. My college background is in advertising art, so I dabble in the digital arts. I'm a big fan of genealogy, antiques, nutrition, and all things 3D animation.
