Produktbeschreibung

Inspired by a true story, Stranger to Myself is a supernatural tale about a woman who is thrust out of body by searing pain. Rebekah Lark awakens as Caroline Molina. The last thing she 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, and a man named Leo enters the room and calls her "Caroline," assuming she is his wife. She presumes the current transmigration is temporary.

Rebekah 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.

Everyone longs to belong, and the main character's twisted existential plight strikes that chord as she is propelled on a quest to prove her identity. This is an engaging tale about a woman desperately trying to find her way back to her daughter as she falls hopelessly in love with a man who believes she is his wife.

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!
