Wide Awake Asleep

A Time-Slip Novel About Regret and Redemption

Julie grew up in a small village where her mother’s flings made her the talk of the town. Her heartbroken father left, unable to cope, and Julie’s anger deepened when she was placed in foster care.

Despite everything, Julie rebuilt her life. She became successful, financially secure, and even forgave her mother enough to find her a good nursing home. Yet beneath the achievements lies exhaustion and a loneliness she can’t escape.

Then a car crash changes everything.

Julie wakes in 1973—back in her childhood—but in someone else’s body. Has she died and entered the afterlife, or has she truly travelled back in time? As she confronts old wounds and familiar betrayals, she must decide whether to relive her pain or finally rewrite her history.
