Abigail Patel does not expect to be born a second time. Yet from infancy she is aware she has lived before. She has no specific memories of her prior lifetime; what she does possess is inexplicable melancholy and foreboding.

 

Abigail and her mother Faye must navigate a mother-daughter relationship that starts to deteriorate. As fragmentary memories from Abigail’s previous life begin to unlock, a conviction burgeons that she has been guilty of some terrible act.

 

When at last Abigail learns what links the crumbling relationship with Faye and the troubling memories of her past life, the revelation will upend her entire identity.
