How the Story Always Ends
ByPublisher Description
In this sweeping, suspenseful journey, a woman discovers she is connected to a murder committed before she was born—and she has the victim’s memories.
Paloma is grieving the loss of her enigmatic mother when she discovers a book in her effects that explores the phenomenon of young children who remember their past lives. Flipping through the pages, she finds that she was one of the children, interviewed about her memories of a man’s brutal murder when she was only four years old. But there’s someone else who is having memories of the same man’s death.
For years, Dante has been reliving the details of a murder that occurred before he was born. When he stumbles upon a reincarnation research team, he reaches out for help but instead meets Paloma, whose memories are eerily similar to his. They quickly realize that their lives—and love stories—are more interwoven than they could have imagined. Now, they must work together to uncover the truth about their last deaths or fall prey to the same violent end that haunts them in life after life.
What ensues is a gripping tale of reincarnation, memory, and fate that spans from the sun-drenched streets of modern Los Angeles to the colonial-era Caribbean Sea. Each remembered life and forgotten history proves pivotal in Paloma and Dante’s search for answers, but only time will tell if they can escape their fate . . . or if their story is destined to end tragically once again.
