Book Summary
Timeless Beginnings
Avid dog lover, law enforcement psychic and former Air Baobab air hostess Lucky van Niekerk has a gift for sniffing out answers. From helping to solve cold cases to reliving past lives, she’s torn between worlds—the past and the present; the dead and the living.
She’s helping agents track a dangerous killer. But there are some things she can’t find. Her soulmate, for instance.
Determined to solve her own mystery, Lucky learns she must first help others to help herself. She’s sure she isn’t the only one whose life has been touched by the past, so she sends out a call to her former colleagues. Four other air hostesses answer—and they’ve all experienced past-life dreams in the crew rest aboard the same 747 jumbo jet at 36,000 feet. Can Lucky help them solve the mysteries locked in their dreams, or will they be destined to make the same mistakes they made in a previous life?
Discover the power of uncorking past lives and start the journey with Lucky in this first book in the Time Flies women’s fiction series, as five virtual strangers are drawn together in their quest for fulfilment and love.
What readers say about the book🧐
Ms. Wallace has written a masterpiece of world building. Get ready to be immersed in South African English language dialect. Her heroine, Lucky, around whom each of the stories, the main one and the side ones revolve, is so real and sympathetic she comes off the page. She's someone every woman would want as a friend, for her humility and wit and smarts and kindness. When we learn about her "gifts" it's almost written like a memoir. For fans of psychic mysteries, sweet heat romance, spiritual fiction, and, crime fiction, I highly recommend Jill Wallace's Timeless Beginnings! Warning! While the crime mystery is solved, the ending does leave you wanting more, and you will need to read on for answers to the over-arching mysteries.

About the Author
Jill Wallace
Jill Wallace was born and bred in South Africa, and lived the second half of her life in America. She feels like the African baobab with roots that look like branches. Like the confused “Upside Down Tree” she no longer knows where the South African ends and the American begins. She hopes it affords her some degree of complexity. A girl can always hope :o)
In South Africa, Jill was a contemporary dancer and a PRO for a hotel and a shopping center conglomerate. She flew as an “international air hostess” for South African Airways, enjoyed 6 continents and hundreds of adventures. She married her dream man, Athol, a rugby player who makes her laugh. They moved to America with the promise of a career that never happened, and Jill inherited her 2 heart-children full time in a strange, new country where together they found compromise, laughter and love.
In the U.S. Jill’s been a bad waitress and an excellent (but inconspicuous) movie extra for “Pretty Woman” director Garry Marshall, and a Realtor for 28 years. As a screenplay, “War Serenade” (which was inspired by a true story) was twice optioned for a movie. As her first novel, “War Serenade” garnered multiple literary awards and a Rone and Readers Choice for the audio book version.
Her second novel “Zebra” is inspired by Athol’s life. It’s a searing, soaring, heart-breaking, heart-warming coming-of-age story about an unusual friendship between a Zulu and a white boy in South Africa during apartheid. It’s intended to be enjoyed by anyone who ever had a true friend or wished they did.
As immigrants they’ve been humbled by poverty and blessed by kindness. Proud to be an American, her heart is strongly African and her books will always reflect Jill’s plight as a baobab tree.
