Book Description:
Widowed suddenly at age 50,
Deborah is left with plenty of money but no direction to her life. Shedding her
suburban housewife life, she moves back to the West Village where she grew up.
When she meets a woman who
appears to be an identical twin, Deborah discovers the Lost: a group of 100
fully-formed people who were dropped off on Earth as it cooled down and who
have lived on the planet as it developed.
The Lost show her the myriad
dimensions of Spacetime, taking her to ancient Egypt, Weimar Germany, and
planets without inhabitants. They reunite her with deceased loved ones. She
forms relationships with an Egyptian god and a famous artist through whom she
lives new truths and learns who she needs to become to walk the road not taken.
