About
Kira is best friends with Brigid, a girl who has the strange ability to take someone's hand and visit the past lives of their ancestors.
When an accident kills Laney while Brigid was giving her a "reading," Brigid becomes trapped in the past. Doctors think Brigid is in a coma but Kira knows she must find a way to save her. She discovers that the only way to pull Brigid out of the trance is to connect her to one of Laney's blood relatives. The only problem? Laney was adopted. With the help of Laney's family friend, Kira must track down the truth about Laney's birth family before it's too late.
