Have you ever wondered how past lives influence the present? Or pondered how souls travel through eternity? Nicola, a divorced single mother with a young son, invites the reader along as she joins a group of ordinary people on a spiritual journey, exploring how humanity is intrinsically connected. The group embark on a 'guided tour of Eternity' led by Ian, an open-minded landscaper-turned-medium. Ian gives voice to an assortment of narrators from another realm, who all in their own way are very personable and often humorous and wise. The group struggles at times with the gap between the spiritual truths and the reality of their lives on Earth, but their other-worldly visitors are uncannily perceptive and aware of the minutiae of modern life, and they reassure their audience that there are no mistakes. Through their stories, featuring past and present lives of souls whose destinies are intricately interwoven, Nicola's group is shown how human beings go about creatively shaping their lives throughout their reincarnation cycle. Readers are taken along on a quest through mountains, deserts and forests and hear about the adventures of a variety of wise and not-so-wise souls. As connections between the characters in the stories are gradually revealed, we come to understand that the closest people in our lives are those with whom we have had relationships in other times and places. Timeless and empowering, the story points the way to the intuitive knowing of the heart, which could help humanity to make the right choices at a time of unprecedented global challenge.
