This book had such an interesting premise that I immediately downloaded it and put aside the rest of my current reading list. The main character has such a strong, compelling voice that I was completely drawn in and it ended up exceeding my expectations!

During Part 1, Siwar alternating between flashbacks as herself in Amman, Jordan and current three-year-old Wyatt in Seattle. I loved her instinctual reactions to both Western culture and the idiosyncrasies in the life of a toddler. The second part almost feels like a sequel to the first part, with Siwar's consciousness being the connecting factor. There's a struggle for control during the majority of Part 2 between Siwar and her now much older host, Wyatt.

The second part also focuses more on the mystery of who killed Siwar 25 years prior. You're kept guessing even when you feel like you've figured it out! While we never figure out how or why Siwar woke up in Wyatt's body, the author manages to wrap up the story with a satisfactory bow.
