 The back jacket cover  reads...

 

TIME & UNFORESEEN OCCURRENCE is a seven-novel epic drama.  It is the unforgettable story of one woman's search for a light she watched fade and then just... disappear, and the intensely personal journey she embarks upon to find it.  Strongly character driven, and brimming with the intrigue and mystery of the world of high finance, the Secret Service, the Martial Arts, and the love, loyalty, and strength of a united family, it transports us to the idyllic beaches of Maui, the remote jungles of Paraguay, and the turbulent, enigmatic lands of Sri Lanka and Israel - propelled by an enduring love that will not be denied - a love that every heart seeks but few ever find.  At once heartbreaking, joyful, and strikingly honest, it is an odyssey that everyone will want to share.  It is a story of life, of love, of loss, of innocence, courage, and revelation. 

In many ways it is the story of us all. 

 

Here's what the critics have to say...

 

 

Unprecedented Acclaim

 for

 Jesse Leigh Brackstone’s

 

 

 

 

‘Powerfully written and broad in its scope, this is the most compelling story about the human condition written this century.  A masterpiece.’ 

 

‘Time & Unforeseen Occurrence is the best novel (or series of them) I have read in recent memory.  As the story unfolds, the characters develop vividly and become an inspiration to... anyone.  The series is extraordinarily well written, very readable, and one of the best examples of great literature in our time.’

 

 

 ‘Every once in a while a book comes along that challenges and changes us profoundly.  Destined to be a classic.’

 

 

‘This isn’t a story you read, it’s a journey you experience.  Complex and imaginative it keeps you guessing at every turn.’

 

 

‘This is a powerful, fast-paced story of people so real that we all can feel their heartaches and rejoice in their loves.  Their lives become interwoven with ours and their paths toward spirituality become ours.  We are quickly engaged and at the end, we are left wanting more.’

 

 

 ‘The most refreshing and enjoyable book I've read in years.  A definitive discourse on unconditional love and the power and liberation of forgiveness.’

 

   

‘Jesse, I found your series to be interesting and refreshing, so much so that at the end my only regret was that there wasn’t more of it.’

 

 

‘Brilliant!  Time & Unforeseen Occurrence is an emotionally charged story of human tragedy and triumph.  Powerfully written, it takes us on a journey of a young woman’s quest for purpose and truth in her life - and ours.  This is a classic series.’

 

 

‘Time and Unforeseen Occurrence: Captivating from the onset and riveting in its prose, Jesse has produced an extraordinary series.  So adroitly charged, it is difficult to put down.  It leaves us with unsolved mysteries, yet tempts us with the promise of answers to questions as yet unknown.  Starkly original.’

 

 

‘What can I say about a uniquely intriguing series that defies conventional literary categorization?  Unconditional love is its dominant theme.  Where humans have traditionally built walls, this story gives us bridges.  In a world where vengeance is the accepted creed, the characters demonstrate the awesome power of forgiveness.  Where we would divide, the story unites.  Where we would seek self and independence, the books’ very human characters strive to live to love, serve, and embrace the strength of the family unit.  Jesse draws no lines between black and white, she dissolves the differences between believers, paupers and billionaires, and sages and fools, and takes us on an unforgettable journey.  Timeless, as well as timely, evocative, and thoroughly engaging, Time & Unforeseen Occurrence is a standalone work of art.  Remarkable!’
