Parallel worlds converge in this cosmic tale of love and loss, hope, and redemption

Claire, a book editor, is entangled in an affair with a married man. After a hit-and-run accident leaves her in a coma, she awakens to a reality that is both baffling and utterly unrecognizable. She's told she was the driver, but her memories contradict this. Her lover is now her emotionally distant husband, whom she suspects of infidelity. Even more disorienting, her mother and friends are strangers to her.

As reality ebbs and flows, Claire grapples with her fragmented memories and shifting sense of self. Is she truly suffering from amnesia, or has she crossed over to a parallel world-a conviction that grows stronger by the day-where everything she once knew has shifted?

What follows is a pair of intertwined stories that transcend time and space, weaving a luminous tale of hope, second chances, and the possibility of the impossible-the very fabric of our existence on earth.
