Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.
About the snippet: This is in Rowan's POV. Though Rowan realizes places and scenery could have changed over the years, she drives her car down the main part of town just to see if something will pop out as familiar from her dreams.
***
She turned off a road where the pines and brush had grown with wild abandonment without corporations clearing it away for housing or whatever else their imaginations could conjure up for zoning.
She slowed her vehicle when she came to a sign partially hidden behind a bush that was doing its best to consume it. She parked on the shoulder of the road and stepped out of her car to have a closer look. The sign appeared hand painted and worn from the elements, but she could make out that it was pointing toward the right to what was supposed to be the road to Lake Moor. The potholed path overgrown with foliage indicated no one had traveled this way in a while. Maybe the lake had dried up and had been forgotten. There was only one way to find out. She slipped her hand into her jean pocket to retrieve her cell phone and glance at the time. She roughly had two hours before she had to head back to the coffeehouse to start work. She hurried to her car, slid inside.

About Heart and Soul...
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?

Hmm, I wonder what Rowan will find out at this place.
We’ll find out soon…
Ooooh, I wonder if Lake Moor is going to jog her memory??? 🙂 There must be a reason she is set on going there. 🙂
It just might jog her memory. 🙂
Good, good. I’ve been anxious for some of her strange memories to make an appearance in your snippets!
Ed,
They’re coming. lol
You’ve leaving us curious about her goal and what she will find.
Aurora,
I know. 🙂
I’m moved with this snippet. Revelation as you move the scene. So outstanding.
Charmaine,
So glad you enjoyed the scene.
I must have missed the appearance of these dreams. This adds a new dimension to the story. I wonder what she’ll find?
Botanist,
The dreams were mentioned in the very early snippets. 🙂
An explorer after my own heart. I wonder what she’ll find at the lake? The dreams are a cool added element! Really enjoying the story and this was another excellent excerpt…
Veronica,
Thanks so much. I’m glad you’re enjoying the snippets.
I think she’s just found the path to her past! Great scene, Karen.
Nancy,
Thank you. 🙂 Yep, she may have.
Oh, I understand the appeal of long-untrodden path! Somehow I doubt she’ll make it back to work on time.
Christina,
She might not. 🙂 We’ll see.
Hmm, both promising and a little creepy. And no one knows where she is. Now I’m worried!
Alexis,
It is a bit creepy. Not sure I’d venture down that road.
Great exploration in this snippet!
Amy,
Thank you.
Something tells me Lake Moor was forgotten for a reason.
My heart was racing after she got out of the car. What would she find? Will someone try to stop her?
