When Karen's husband dies she starts to wonder about lives lived and if she'll see him again. Her curiosity leads her to start working the ghost tours in her town and that leads her to someone who has answers. A past life regressionist takes her to "the other side" of Anoka - back to 1851. The majority of the book is through Carrie's eyes as the small settlement of Anoka grows into a bustling town. Carrie meets Jacque-Pierre, her soulmate, and starts a family of her own. Her family grows as the town does. While Carrie is the "main character" there are also many other characters, ordeals, and backstories that readers are privy too. The town itself could also be classified as the main character, because as the years pass, the buildings and population grow as well. This book would mainly fall under historical fiction although the buildings, the catastrophes, the people, and the deaths are all based on real accounts of the town. An interesting way to tell a town's history while focusing on one family.
