Borrowed Destiny Joy M Copeland

Jeanie Maxwell is lonely. Worse, she's bored by both her life and her career. While in New Orleans for work, Jeanie goes looking for distraction, and she meets aging psychic, "Mama" Lucie Dulon, a woman grieving the recent loss of her twin sister. After reading Jeanie's palm, Lucie tells her that she is sharing her body with another soul. Certain this is nonsense, Jeanie ignores the psychic's warnings. But over the next five days, Jeanie's life totally disintegrates. As her spirit weakens, the soul she's unwillingly hosting takes over. Lucie senses Jeanie is in danger, but she's dealing with plenty of her own problems, including a long-buried family secret. A contemporary fantasy filled with occult suspense and psychic mysteries, Borrowed Destiny channels the magical realism of New Orleans in a story about family secrets, ghosts of the past, and second chances.
