The Starfish People — Leann Marshall

Leg muscles burning and arms punching through water and air, hands clawing for something, anything that can pull me up, pull me out, give me a chance-Help me help me help me . . . Gasping, SERA wakes from the nightmare-again. Her therapist believes that her troubled young patient is reliving the drowning death from a past life in her dreams. When she convinces Sera to travel back in time to witness the death of that past entity in an effort to break the nightmare's cycle, Sera is faced with a difficult choice: does she stand by and let events unfold as they will, or does she break the rules of time travel and help to save the ones she loves, only to risk everything, including her own life? The choice she makes results in an anomaly so horrible and yet so beautiful, it transforms each of them.
