Once In A Blue Moon

By: April Tompkins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Jemma’s grandmother has died and it’s up to Jemma to travel back to the farmhouse to sort her belongings. The one person who should be there, Jemma’s mother, doesn’t even seem to care. Mom has always been that way; distant, detached. Mom hadn’t seen Grandma in years.

Jemma sets upon the task of packing up Grandma’s memorabilia, and curious, she places an old record on the boxy stereo in the basement. That’s the moment when Jemma is no longer Jemma. She’s a young woman surviving in the midst of World War II, with a no-good husband and a lonely country existence.

Just when the woman who’s now called Maggie finally fights her way out of the tangles, a different woman steps into the picture. Her name is Beth, a child of the seventies, harboring a suspicion that batters every step of her life, and bars her from trusting anyone.

Whatever magic caused Jemma to assume these new identities, she’s about to learn some truths about love and lies.
