I'm so glad I did!
I thought this book was great, a definite page turner.
The story takes place almost entirely within a court room.
Susannah is the widow of Ben. Ben was 88, Susannah 24. They were married less than a year when he died and left everything to her.
His family is very skeptical, they think their dad was tricked into changing his will. The previous one of course would have left everything to his kids and grandkids.
Then a bombshell is dropped, Susannah says she is the reincarnation of Ben's first wife Rose who died over 25 years ago.
Can either side really prove their side to be correct and the other side wrong?
I thought both sides were likable characters and both sides making good points. Was Ben reunited with his first wife? Or was he taken advantage of? Does Susannah deserve everything? Even if she is Rose, wouldn't her/Ben's family deserve something when he died?
A lot to think about and you'll be tearing through the book very anxious to see what the final outcome will be.
I enjoyed it very much and I loved the last few pages.… (more)
