A love made in heaven – twin flames create from a single body of white fire, separated at birth, searching for each other throughout eternity.  

Is this your search too?  

Lotte, the heroine of When Spirit Takes Over, comes face-to-face with her twin flame – a pastor who hides his passion under layers of dogma and piety.  Left alone to unravel the mystery of their extraordinary connection, she tries to decipher the meaning of her searing love for this man, a longing she cannot deny.  As she spirals more deeply into the mysteries of her soul, into buried childhood memories and recollections from past lives, her startling discoveries bring her an awareness of unspeakable psychological and spiritual secrets – all leading to the brink of freedom! 

“Riveting!

I couldn’t put the book down until I finished the last page.  Truly – Lotte, the heroine, is an inspiration to us all.  If everyone would courageously face the karmic ties of their past with this main character’s dogged determination to resolve her pain, coupled with the guidance of Spirit – all Would heal as she did.
