When night falls and dreams come...
...they can change everything.
How will Jay use what he learns?
On a parallel world, the people know reincarnation is real, but that knowledge comes with a price. The accumulated wisdom of previous lives can be valuable. With it, though, comes the memories, both good and bad.
For some it's too much.
For Jay it may destroy him.
Ri Sun-Hui was a brilliant scientist, a loving mother, and the pawn of a cruel dictator. Now, in this life, as a young man coming-of-age, he's faced with the burden of history.
How will he forget?
Does he even want to?
You'll love this thrilling story, because it looks at society through a dual lens that is anything but rose colored.
Get it now.
"A sparkling debut that leaves the reader's mental wheels turning." - Kirkus Reviews
★★★★★ "The writing is great, the plot wonderful and the characters mesmerizing. RE Johnston transports readers into interesting landscapes and worlds, and invites them to redefine life." - Divine Zape for Readers' Favorite
"Adults will enjoy the thought provoking study in the socio-political environment while young adults will identify with the adolescent who enjoys video games, his friends, and his girlfriend. It has the depth of character and connection to family and young love that ground it in our reality today, while at the same time allowing your imagination to soar." - Susan Stradiotto quoted in Hidden Gems' Best Young Adult Books We've Recently Reviewed
About the Author :
RE Johnston writes speculative fiction for teens and young-minded adults, blowing their minds open to experience what their lives would be like "if only." In his debut novel, Two Moons, RE introduced us to a planet (much like ours) populated with people (much like us) who have detailed memories of their past lives on Earth (where they were us.) Now he's expanding Two Moons' world into a series, Echoes of Past Lives. The second book, League of Secrets, will be released in early 2021. He is irrationally optimistic that young adult reincarnation fiction will become the next big thing. RE has degrees in physics and management. He spent a very long time developing systems and bossing people around, but he's finally settled down to invent new worlds. He lives with his wife, Valerie, in Fort Worth, Texas: "Where the West Begins." To receive a free prequel novella to the Echoes of Past Lives series, and to be notified as new books come out, please visit his website at re-johnston.com.

"Two Moons is a fascinating read . . . I believe this story has wide appeal. Adults will enjoy the thought provoking study in the socio-political environment while young adults will identify with the adolescent who enjoys video games, his friends, and his girlfriend. In literature, I consider this the type of story that should be introduced into curriculum as it teaches on a broad spectrum of societal factors and makes you think about what might be if only." - Susan Stradiotto for Truly Novel Reviews
