Beschreibung
This is a story of many voices, many lives, and all of them are hers.
In one life, Altagracia Sanchez is just another teenager longing to go to college In another, she is an adult with a thriving architecture career. In all lives, she hears voices, sees visions, and can't stop washing her hands. What kind of future can she possibly hope for? From the music-filled rooms of her childhood home in New Mexico, to the cold realities of college-life for someone not quite like everyone else, Altagracia's story is a time-bending family drama full of so much possibility.
The lives that come to Altagracia slide in and out of memory, out of time. Where did the demon come from? And who is her doppelgänger? Oh, and Benny. No one else seems to know he's there. With so many intertwining moments all around her, so many voices, can you blame her for learning to mask herself, for seeking solitude? But why won't she answer the phone? As the everyday mingles with the extraordinary, Altagracia finds a life beyond what anyone could have hoped for her. And then one or two more. What does it matter if some of them are ones only she can see?
