Shadows From The Past: Day of the Dead Maria Broadhurst

Suffering insanity, when dreams and nightmares bring back memories, Saskia, the narrator, discovers that the secrets of life may not be waiting for her in the future, but that they are actually in the past.

Leaving a loveless marriage and in search of her lost soul, destiny takes her to Mexico for the celebration of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a time when both the living and the dead come together in the celebrations of the 'continuum of life'.

Whilst in Mexico, Saskia experiences déjà vu and meets Miguel, the man who appears in her dreams and nightmares. They soon unearth that they have lived before as lovers, and discover that their past life souls are in purgatory.

As their past lives intertwine with their present, long buried secrets are revealed, but will their confessions help put right any sins committed in their previous life, so their past life souls can move on to heaven?

'Day of the Dead' is a time when life and death reunite and it's on this day that communication really does exist between the living and the dead.
