Everything always seems to be rubbed in Maria's face. Living with a brother who gets a better job and a better partner than her, leaving her on the side as their parent's panda him. Leaving her brother to get a good job and find her own way only to get stuck at a boring office simply waiting for the promotion that will get her everywhere. And now meeting the perfect guy, only to find that he's taken, and has moved into her building, on the same floor, on the same corridor. Just brilliant.

When Mollie starts to prefer the dreams she's having to the painful reality of life, she's forced to choose between embracing a fantasy or the man she loves. ***** Since she was seven, Mollie Cutright has known two truths: she loves Howard Flynn and her dreams are the most magical part of her life. Each day she suffers at the hands of her abusive parents, but each night she is surrounded by a loving family who call her by a different name. Growing up in 1930's Virginia, no one has patience for a girl who might be mad, so Mollie strives to keep her dreams (and how often they intrude on her reality) a secret. But when her secret comes out, Mollie is sent to an asylum, though not before she and Howard are secretly engaged. It is at the asylum she discovers the dreams are echoes of her past lives. She's an immortal, if she makes a journey to claim her heritage. The problem is, if she continues down this path, she can never see Howard, the love of her life, again.
