LA VIDA QUE NO ELEGÍ

by Lorena Franco (Barcelona)
Novel, 232 pages

What if you suddenly landed in an alternate life
you didn’t choose?

Nora, the wealthy and successful executive vice president of a huge firm is the target of a cruel retaliation by a low-level employee who happens to come from a long line of witches of the “black magic” persuasion.
Under the spell of Bonnie’s curse, Nora’s life flips 180 degrees. Suddenly, no one recognizes her, not even her husband and son. Her luxury apartment in New York City no longer belongs to her, and neither does her beloved Porsche or her huge expensive wardrobe.
Her only option is to go “home” to Kutztown, Pennsylvania and knock on the door of the mother she hasn’t spoken to in eighteen years and then, become relentlessly absorbed into a life she did not choose.
This is a novel of parallel lives in which fantasy, witchcraft, treachery, love story, and personal redemption intersect. It’s a wild ride, but if you can suspend logic, you’ll enjoy the read!
