What if you could choose another life?

At dinner tables across the world, the question lingers: Who or what would you be, if you had another chance?

In this evocative and wide-ranging collection, writers, poets, and illustrators explore the many answers to that question. From lives lived across centuries and lifetimes, to quiet reflections on roads not taken, to humorous, heartfelt, and haunting glimpses of alternate selves—each piece offers a different lens on identity, choice, and the enduring mystery of existence.

You’ll meet souls who remember more than they should, women imagining freer versions of themselves, pirates dreaming of gentler lives, and spirits who linger between worlds. Some stories will make you laugh. Others will catch in your throat. All will leave you wondering.

Because perhaps the real question isn’t who you would be in another life… but how many lives you are already living?
