Bridge Across Time

Bridge Across Time links Elspeth, in 19th century Scotland, and Sofia in 20th century Florida, two women with very different lives, but overlapping past-life memories. Elspeth's life is cut short in the Tay Bridge disaster in Dundee 1879. Ending her hopes and her ambitions, considered to be ahead of her time, to be a doctor. Her spirit infiltrates the dreams of Auschwitz-born Sofia, who is plagued with, among other troubles, a dread of heights and bridges. She uses her vivid dreams, her love of learning and sheer determination to overcome her fears, first to get herself out of Poland 1968. Her study as a Jungian therapist leads her to London and on to America where she finds answers to her quest: a career helping others and a life partner who is hauntingly like the young man Elspeth left broken-hearted waiting for the doomed train a century before.
