"Reborn as Emily" is a heartfelt tale of resilience, friendship, the deep bonds that connect us across lifetimes, and the transformative power of love, perfect for readers who believe in the magic of new beginnings. Influenced by Eastern philosophies and themes of dual consciousness, this tale explores the profound connection between two souls sharing one existence.
Emily's life changes forever when she realizes she is no longer alone in her own mind. Daniel, a protective presence from another universe, has merged with her consciousness. Along with him comes a lifetime of experience, wisdom, and pain. Though the merging brings challenges-forcing Emily to grapple with knowledge and memories far beyond her years-Daniel becomes her guide, offering strength and insight as they navigate the complexities of life together.
With the loving embrace of her parents, Sarah and Thomas, and the friendship of Lucy and Lily, Emily learns to balance her own emerging identity with Daniel's past. Together, they face schoolyard challenges, discover the joys of being young, and uncover the power of second chances.
As Emily and Daniel grow closer, they help each other heal. Emily's curiosity and kindness offer Daniel the peace he never found, while his wisdom helps her make sense of the world. Their bond is not one of control or conflict, but of shared understanding, growth, and unconditional support. Through their journey, Emily discovers that even the most unexpected connections can lead to healing, love, and new beginnings.

Even if she is killed, she is never dead.
*****
She'd spent many, many years in the same body, getting used to her quirks, her mannerisms, learning how to survive through the ages. Yet Josephine wakes up one night and realizes she's been asleep for a century: it's now 2023, and her last memory was being on a boat with friends back in 1923. As an immortal woman--a Reborn--she can never truly die, but if mortally wounded or killed, her body disintegrates, and her essence roams for one hundred years before it creates a new body to inhabit.
If she slept for so long, it can only mean one thing: someone murdered her back on that boat, and now she needs to find out who and why.
