Opis

Ana (known as Emily Ana in New Mexico) marries Salim, an East Indian Muslim immigrant from the Fijian Islands. "I Fought & Believed" is from II Timothy in "The Bible": "I fought the good fight; I kept the faith; I won the race."

The plot of this science fiction, romance novel is woven through space and time back into the past and far into the future by Ana's reach for help from her Intuitive Guide. Ana's Guide possesses a key, which when turned back, brings into Ana's mind experiences from her past. Ana's Guide has no control over what will appear to Ana. Ana's Guide is there to help Ana understand the effects that her experiences had in shaping her into who she is. In these sessions with Ana's Guide, we begin to understand why Ana gave her power to Salim's demand, and that Ana gave up her physical self to save the Universe. We understand why Ana disconnected herself from Salim and chooses to help her sons in their lives. Watching Salim deteriorate in nursing homes with Parkinson's and Epilepsy mystifies us as we remember the miracles he once performed. Ana's turning the key into the future frightens her such that she is unwilling to turn that key into the future ever again. However that one, fateful turn into the future gives us a glimpse into their requited and endless love.
