There's someone for everyone—or so they say. Yet Julie’s ‘the one’
ran off with her best friend.
Julie never forgave either of them, but
when she heard they died in tragic circumstances she realised that life was too
short for regrets and dived into life making her career ‘the one’.
Except, Fate had other ideas.
Unbeknown to Julie, she’d taken the
wrong destiny path and Fate needed to put things right. It sent Julie back to when
it started to all go wrong for her… back to 1972 when she was five years old.
One problem.
She had to occupy other people’s bodies
and watch her life through their eyes, while trying to stop her former self
from making the same wrong decisions.
It was as disconcerting as you could get!

Excerpt from Chapter Five Wide
Awake Asleep
My head was buzzing; thoughts
that weren’t mine invaded my mind. I looked over at the mirror on the dresser,
then back at the contents of the bag on the bed. I looked at my hands. I’d
noticed they looked different before, but I’d ignored their appearance—had to
ignore it, to preserve my sanity.
A stranger’s thoughts persisted
in my head. Mundane things of another life that I didn’t belong to.
I looked at the mirror again,
then rose and forced my legs to move forwards. I knew I’d look different, but
the jolt of shock hit me anyway. Instead of seeing my own face, I saw a young
woman with a thin, pockmarked face and awful buck teeth. Instead of my blonde
no-nonsense bob, my hair was long and brown. A wave of nausea turned my stomach
as I stared at my reflection. I should be seeing a forty-nine-year-old woman in
her prime, not a twenty-something scraggy-haired woman. I should be
immaculately made up with perfect teeth and skin, not… not this.
An unexpected thought popped into
my head. Will I look more professional if
I put my hair up or should I leave it down? It wasn’t my thought. It
belonged to whoever’s body I was occupying.
One thought was spinning around
in my mind—and it was mine: I had died in the crash, and this was some sort of
afterlife.
