Inspired by a true story, Stranger to Myself is a supernatural tale about a woman who is thrust out of body to escape chronic pain. The last thing Rebekah Lark remembers is lying on an outdoor swing on a clear autumn day in Niwot, Colorado. But now, she awakens in an unfamiliar brownstone in New York City with heavily falling snow. A man named Leo enters the room and calls her "Caroline," assuming she is his wife. When, at last, she looks into a mirror, and sees she is someone else, she presumes the current transmigration is temporary. She plays along, while making attempts to contact her true family, even stealing away to visit them in Colorado, under the pretense that she is Rebekah's childhood friend. When Leo locates her, Rebekah's effort to explain her situation to him falls on deaf ears. The medical community's sway is powerful, but she is the puzzle doctors will never piece. Questions remain! Who are we without our identity? Is Rebekah who she thinks she is? If she is, will she maintain her memories or will Caroline's brain reclaim control? Does the heart as well as brain carry memory? What power do we give to the medical community to make our decisions? Does Rebekah/Caroline decide to stay in New York or return to Colorado? Read to find out! Read to find out!
