This story will bring you to life. Again. And again. And again. Imagine following someone through two centuries, across both heaven and earth. You'll pass from the Great Famine in Ireland to contemporary Los Angeles. Imagine that through all of this time, the one you follow is pursuing a lover whom he betrays, who then gets her revenge, and who finally redeems him. Now imagine that you must be born — and die — three times to do all of this. A quarter of all Americans now believe in reincarnation. But readers don’t have to believe in rebirth to enjoy the adventures of the memorable characters and many surprises that propel this tale of love lost and regained. They’ll read three life stories told by one consciousness as it passes through three consecutive incarnations on earth. Before, in between, and after each life, a Spirit named Chip will explain the significance of the individuals Chip became in three embodiments on earth. Chip explains this by sending an e-mail to “the Alchemist,” a video game designer, at the start of the story. At the very end of the novel, an unexpected fact about the Alchemist's identity is revealed.
