Jessie Strickland, forty-eight, lesbian, and abruptly unemployed is dissatisfied with her life. She decides to spend time at a mountain resort in Northeastern Arizona to contemplate her options. On the way, she stumbles into a situation she cannot ignore: the young waitress in a small-town diner has caught her attention, both physically and spiritually. At the resort, Jessie cannot erase the woman from her thoughts. When dreams, featuring a dude ranch and the young woman, disturb her rest, Jessie is convinced that she must be dreaming of a past incarnation. She returns to the diner and ultimately learns that the waitress, Connie Laskey, is having the same dreams. A small ranching community is where the unearthing of past lives unfolds. We follow Jessie and Connie as they discover one another and fall in love again. As they unravel their history, the jealousies and violence of the past manifest in the present and threaten their love.

Since 1996, the Puerto Vallarta Writers Group has provided a home for authors published, self-published, and aspiring. This year, the PVWG has created an anthology of its writers' best short stories. Included in this eclectic collection, you will find winners and losers, murderers and victims, talking dogs and terrified children, fairy tales and love stories, whimsy, comedy, and outright horror. In other words, the whole panoply of what it means to be human. (Even the dog) The stories are about evenly divided between authors who have been published before, and those who are seeing their work in publication for the first time. We believe that they are all excellent, and we invite you to read them for yourself. We promise an enjoyable reading experience. All proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Los Mangos Library in Puerto Vallarta
