A simple touch, and suddenly Paige is in the past - living someone else's life, seeing the world through her eyes, and feeling her deepest emotions. Paige used to think memories only existed in the mind. But now, she knows better. She can't explain how or why, but she experiences "glimmers," special moments that have remained behind - clinging to a letter, a ring, even a worn-out pair of boots. When Paige returns from each glimmer, a small part of her has changed. Who is this gourmet cook, fashion designer, feisty lover? And how is she supposed to explain this to her family without them thinking she has completely lost her mind? Paige thinks her new talent is a gift until . . . she is suddenly transported into her sister’s memory and catches a glimmer of her sister's secret life. Take this humorous and romantic journey, as Paige learns about true love through the lives of three extraordinary women. Glimmers resembles many literary novels: Southern warmth from The Notebook; light-hearted drama and family dynamics of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood; timeless romance of Pride and Prejudice.
