“In the blink of an eye, anything can be turned upside down.” Timothy is an enigmatic, independent child who suffers from ‘petit mal', a mild form of epilepsy.

Tamarind is blessed with a gift to help heal past hurts; but at what cost? She weaves in and out of the lives of others, leaving peace and mystery. Observed by ‘Old Bess' and guided by others, she leads an unconventional and tragic life, oblivious to the purpose behind her path and ultimate destiny. The story touches on reincarnation, scientific interference and belief in the seemingly impossible. Acceptance of Tam's truth may mean everything is turned “Inside Out”.
Old Bess, young Bess, Elizabeth, Lizzie... are we at the beginning or the end? In a Back to Front and roundabout way, Bess tells the story of how her paths have crossed and sometimes run alongside those of the people she has been sent to guide and support. As her personal story unfolds we learn that she has not just one path but many and that chronological time is irrelevant when it comes to spiritual guidance and purpose. Although Back to Front can be read alone, through Bess' story we are able to ‘join up the dots' with some of the characters that peopled Inside Out and Upside Down Bess is the swan sailing serenely across the water, while her coronet wings protect her young charges and her webbed feet paddle furiously beneath the surface.
