About this listen

In this sweeping, suspenseful journey across time and place and into the human heart, a woman discovers she is connected to a murder committed before she was born—and she has the victim’s memories.

Paloma is freshly grieving the loss of her enigmatic mother when she discovers a research book in her effects that explores the phenomenon of young children who remember their past lives. Reading an attached letter, Paloma quickly realizes that she was one of the children, interviewed about her memories of a man’s brutal murder when she was only four years old. But there’s someone else who is having memories of the same man’s death.

Since childhood, Dante has been reliving the details of a man’s murder, so when he reads the book about reincarnation, he reaches out to the research team, hoping for answers. When his path crosses Paloma’s, they learn that they have lived the same past lives beyond just this one man from before they were both born, and begin to understand that their lives—past and present—and love stories are more deeply interwoven than they could have imagined.

What ensues is a gripping tale of reincarnation, memory, and fate. Spanning all the way from the sun-drenched streets of modern Los Angeles to the colonial-era Caribbean Sea, each remembered life and forgotten history proves pivotal in Paloma’s search for truth, and questions the idea of being two halves of one soul, the connections we have in life—both wanted and not—and how we come to be in our magnificent, terrifying, wondrous lives on Earth. Every revelation brings her one step closer to a death that has haunted her for centuries—and to a star-crossed love story.
