Synopsis

After her husbands deathending a marriage of 58 yearsand in the midst of paralyzing grief, Anita Garman senses she is on a parallel journey with her husbands soul. Ever distrustful of her own feelings, she finds herself in a ceaseless inner struggle between doubt and belief, reason and intuition. But when a friend begins to recount dreams of messages sent her, which are unmistakably from her husband, Anita begins to challenge her own skepticism. A string of mysteriously synchronous events, together with her rediscovery of his love poems to her, draws her deep into a new relationship with him. Her husbands poetry and Anitas letters to him intertwine to set up a connection that echoes across time and space as, late in life, she finds her way to a deeper, truer way of loving. This memoir is a magical love story of possibility that reaches beyond the threshold of death to unite earth and spirit in a promise of limitless connection.
