This Side of the Pools

Book 1 - Diana

In the afterlife, a woman becomes the head of her eternal family, the circle, when she returns from a life in which she has birthed a new soul. Diana and Sam have tried for two hundred years to create their own circle. They have made their plans and they make the leap to be reborn. Their guides, made up of members of their circles, are prepared to assist them in finding one another and living a simple life in the country, with a big family, a farm, and hope.

But chance intervenes and Diana dies before she meets Sam. Diana is faced with the dilemma of either guiding the love of her lives throughout the next fifty years, as he lives out the life she planned with him, or finding another dream without him. With the support of her four sassy sisters and her original mother, Diana finds herself at a fork in the road, which she never expected.

This life after death story has everything, birth, death, coming of age, romance, feminism, sisterhood, and love and loss.
