Who said we can't choose our parents?

WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Summer 2019 - Best Fantasy

"...a dramatic, uplifting and thought-provoking piece of literature that anyone can enjoy." K.C. Finn (5 Stars), Readers' Favorite Book Reviews

"This book will satiate your appetite for magical realism. ... It makes us feel better after reading the last page." Vincent Dublado (5 Stars), Readers' Favorite Book Reviews

When we're born, we start with a blank slate, forgetting all that happened before. Most people think life begins at the moment of either conception or physical birth, but what if it really starts much earlier? What if we meet our parents even before they meet each other? What if we have a choice, and can shape our own destiny?

Take a remarkable journey with a young soul who, upon finding his ideal mother, stops at nothing to make her his own. From the instant he first lays eyes on Lera--so cheerful, charming, and eccentric--'Peace' knows she's the only mom for him.

Yet things don't always go the way we planned, even for souls desperate to be born.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the story of a soul desperate to be born, and of the people who come to make his journey an unforgettable one.
