About the Book
Jocelyn Timmons does not believe she is anything special — just an ordinary high school senior, living an ordinary life full of schoolwork, volleyball, and friends. She’s about to find out how wrong she is.
Jackson Chandler moved into the house across the street. His dark wavy hair, green eyes and charismatic personality drew everyone to him. Everyone, but Jocelyn.
Whenever Jackson gets near Jocelyn, she feels ill and dizzy. When he touches her, she blacks out and has visions of another life, in another time. As the odd hallucinations evolve and become clearer, she feels a strong pull towards the people she sees there. Frightened, she watches her once stable life begin to crumble around her, and she begins to question her own sanity.
Could it be possible that these episodes are actually her own memories of a life she is living somehow, somewhere, some-when? Maybe this is time-travel or some other paranormal mysticism?
Praise for Essence
"A. L. Waddington has taken the basics of the human psyche and creatively morphed them into a narrative this is both familiar and jarring. Like Jocelyn, the reader is thrust ack and forth between stable reality and uncertain fantasy. Waddington unique captures the tumultuous nature of adolescence: the maddening taste of first love, the conflicting urges of youth and maturity, the tortured struggle for one's identity. Young readers will instantly relate to the challenges faced by the characters in 'Essence',"
"It was Captivating! Essence is so much for than your typical boy meets girl story. Don't miss . . ."
"This is an entertaining book that captures the spirit of youth and makes you wonder if there is more to those moments of deja vu than you thought."
"A very interesting look into our perception of reality and what happens when things suddenly are not what they seem. The world Jocelyn thinks she knows changes dramatically with the realization that she actually is living two different, but interconnected lives, in different times. As the boundaries between her two realities begin to crumble, she begins to question her own sanity. While reading the novel, one begins to ask the same question - "What exactly is our reality and how do we fit into the much larger scheme of things?""
