Jennifer Lund was on a quest for answers to some of life's most enduring and unresolvable questions.

Why am I here? Have I been here before? Who was I?

Jennifer had a unique predisposition for psychic experiences which had surfaced in childhood. But she began to suspect that these brief encounters with the unknowable might be more than they appeared.

Now a middle-aged, professional administrator, she has managed to dismiss her somewhat inconvenient abilities. But on the day she suddenly and inexplicably becomes terrified of her own husband, she begins a quest for answers that leads her back in time. Finding herself as a young child, daughter of a cobbler in a small Basque village during the early-nineteenth-century Carlist Wars, the events of that lifetime unfold, casting shadows upon the present and the choices that both she and her skeptical therapist are about to make.

Her journey weaves itself through pre-Christian, Basque mythology and nineteenth-century French history to present-day psychology and back again.

Is it merely a creation of her mind or is she calling up memories from another time? Another place? Another life?
