You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted. The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly. One repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil. There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy. But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?

Doctors tend to the needs of their patients, but patients give meaning to the lives of their doctors. So it is for Cullen Brodie, a twice-divorced California nephrologist, and Ennis Willoughby, a troubled cross-dresser whose life is saved by a rare heart-and-kidney transplant. Cullen’s bitter disbelief in the afterlife is tested when Ennis begins to exhibit tastes and characteristics uncannily similar to those of his female organ donor - whose first name Ennis inexplicably knows.

Volume Seven of Alexander' Dumas' catalogue of crime features three colourful historical figures.

He died in battle at the age of 80. 

When Heath’s wife was killed, he never imagined he would begin an antibullying campaign in honor of his wife’s killer - a school shooter - much less find love again, until he has a chance encounter with a Romani fortune-teller. Soon after, just as Bianca predicted, Heath’s pasture is taken over by ghostly figures: a Romani Traveler named Jenica, her mystical friends, and their magical caravans. These trapped souls are an unwelcome distraction from Heath’s determination to free his wife’s 13-year-old killer - whom he believes shot his wife accidentally.
