Story Behind The Book

I’ve always been fascinated by the phenomenon of past-life regression. I first heard about it when I was a darkly brooding teenager, with black hair instead of red, and the romantic half of me wanted it to be true. But the scientific half could see that there were many reasons why it probably wasn’t. One day I thought, what if instead of going to the past, someone would go to a future life? Who would do that? What would they find? And why would they need to? And so this story was born.
