Second Life: Because The First One Is Not Yet Finished

Second Life: Because the First One is Not Yet Finished tells the story of a love relationship that extends across five hundred years between Emile Chevet, a Benedictine priest, and Justine Foirere, a beautiful peasant girl, who fell deeply in love during the Catholic Church’s brutal 1505 Inquisition.

They are found out by the merciless Jean Baptiste Dorembie, Archbishop and Inquisitor of Avignon, taken into custody, and accused of heresy and fornication. Because their love was cut short, they reincarnate five centuries later, determined to explore the promise they made in 1505.

Meeting again in 2005 in upstate New York, Jessica Fortin (formerly Justine) arrives in the Emergency Room after a car accident and is treated by Dr. Erik Albright (formerly Emile). Realizing something deeply meaningful is happening between them, they engage in professional hypnosis to explore their previous life together all the while falling more and more in love in current time.

The book has received numerous positive reviews for its powerful writing, lush descriptions, and rich storytelling.
