Few novels travel with their characters into a life between physical incarnations on Earth. This one does! If you've ever wondered what you might have been up to before you were born ... that is, if you're an "older soul" who is on a path of learning ... you'll find vivid clues in this book.

On the surface, Amelia Longwood seems like just another confused 15-year-old in the late 1960s. She's got problems at home, she's not in the "in crowd" at school, and even though her ballet teacher thinks she's brilliant, she doesn't know it. She can't actually remember her past lives, but something about them begins to creep into her present life. She's started having visions of beautiful, higher-dimensional worlds, of her life between lives where she explores her past and trains for her future with unexpected teachers, luminaries, and old friends.

Is she losing her mind? Or just beginning to find it? Will the forces of her own past-life history defeat her? Or will she rise to her full stature, finding true love as she dances her own unique spiral across the firmament? Many readers have reported that the higher-world scenes in *Cosmic Dancer* triggered  memories of their own life between lives, rekindling their spiritual purpose in the here and now.
