Does time fade into nothingness? Or can memories and emotions survive beyond death? Can one soul touch another and leave something of its experience behind? Isela's childhood dreams are back, stronger than ever. The theme of her paintings is also becoming almost an obsession. Are those things tied in somehow with the mysterious man who has suddenly appeared in her life, and will she be able to finally resolve her feelings for him? Her search for answers will lead her to uncover a truth that sends her on a wild flight to keep a promise made more than a hundred years in the past. McKade Daniels has vowed to see the woman he loves one last time, or die trying. Now a hunted outlaw wrongly accused of her murder, he has one option. Flight. Wounded, surviving by instinct alone, he awakens and wonders if he has died from the gunshot wound, or if the impossible has happened. His search for answers will take him back to the beginning. Back to the water lily pond.
