Worlds Divide
Traveling to parallel worlds is a drag. Except when you meet a hottie.
Nina’s family on her home world demands perfection, an impossible bar to meet when she unpredictably slips into other worlds, leaving behind her body, which is obedient but unable to speak. Breaking dishes after dinners and worse from her perceived disability has been a source of humiliation for her and her family. When a poorly timed slip during Church nearly kills her and splinters her family, she’s convinced she’s fundamentally unlovable.
When Nina encounters Corey on her first slip to his world, an instant connection is made. Corey and Nina fall in love. If only she could stay on his world more than one day each week, her life would be perfect.
All she needs is time. But Corey has his own troubles, and every week Nina leaves him behind to return home steers him down a path of his own destruction. If she can’t figure out how to control her visits to parallel worlds soon, every goodbye could be their last.
