Samaria Carlyle, a nearly 16-year-old girl from New York, begins experiencing vivid glimpses into the life of Solange, a woman from the 1800s, and soon discovers that these are more than just visions—they are memories from a past life. As Samaria dives deeper into Solange’s world, she realizes that she is the reincarnation of Solange, and the two women share a connection through time.

 

Both struggled with societal expectations, family control, and a lack of autonomy. In her search for answers, Samaria turns to libraries and historical records, uncovering that Solange’s family was once part of the gentry in London before migrating to New York.

 

As Samaria uncovers more about her past life, she also grapples with her own modern-day challenges, including a strained relationship with her mother, Shadow, and her desire for independence. Haunted by Solange’s memories and the weight of reincarnation, Samaria must navigate the complexities of identity, fate, and self-discovery, while attempting to reclaim control over her future.
