"I want very much to tell my story. You see, there may not be another story like this in all the world." With these words, eighty-five-year-old Clara Cabot begins an extraordinary journey through time, memory, and the hidden forces that shape human destiny. For more than sixty years, Clara has witnessed the rise and fall of a small Utah town and the military base nearby that transformed it. But the story she shares with a reporter is far more than a chronicle of local history. It is a remarkable account of lives lived across centuries-and the karmic threads that continue to weave through the present. As Clara recounts vivid memories from other lifetimes, long-buried connections begin to emerge. Her experience with a younger sister is linked to an abandonment in nineteenth-century Wyoming. Her attraction to a self-centered husband traces back to unfulfilled desires in seventeenth-century England. Even her extraordinary psychic gift-what she calls "looking sideways"-is traced to her involvement with mysticism in the distant past. Through Clara's eyes, the tragedies, challenges, and triumphs of today reveal themselves as chapters in a much larger story-one that spans lifetimes and demonstrates how every choice creates ripples that echo through the ages. What begins as a skeptical interview soon becomes a life-changing investigation. As the reporter uncovers the truth behind Clara's astonishing memories, she discovers a surprising connection to Clara herself-one that challenges everything she believes about life, death, and the journey of the soul.
