ABOUT THE BOOK
|
This is not a tale of romance, but a meditation on love in its most selfless form: unrequited, redemptive, and eternal.
When Emma, an adopted infant who grew up desiring a partner, finds herself entangled in relationships with two men incapable of returning her love, she begins to question the hidden forces shaping her destiny. Her journey of heartbreak and compassion awakens memories that defy time and logic as she experiences “visions” of past lives in England, Peru, United States of America, Italy, Ireland, and Russia. Across centuries and incarnations, the same souls reappear, bound by a shared karmic debt and the lingering echoes of love that could never be fulfilled. |
Through Emma’s fragile yet unyielding spirit, Living Outside the Box – Time and Time Again weaves together the temporal and the metaphysical, exploring the intersections of destiny, neurodivergence, and the boundless resilience of the human heart. With lyrical prose and philosophical depth, R. E. Siliente invites readers to contemplate the mysteries of existence and the haunting question: Is true love ever meant to be returned?
REVIEWS
“This book is not a tale of romance, but a meditation on love in its highest form—selfless, unrequited, and redemptive. Through Emma’s fragile yet unyielding spirit, the author reveals how desire, destiny, and compassion intersect in the great tapestry of life. What makes this work stand out is, with rare courage, how the narrative confronts the silent burdens of mental illness and neurodivergence, showing how they ripple through families and test the strength of human bonds. The narrative also seamlessly weaves the temporal with the metaphysical, the personal with the universal, and in the end, what remains is not merely Emma’s story, but a mirror to our own restless search for the meaning of our existence—and the haunting question of whether true love is ever meant to be returned, or whether it lives only as a gift without expectations.”
—Dr. Ruwantissa Abeyratne, McGill University, author of 42 books
