f　Yesterday　in　1983。　Both

have　been　out　of　print　for　years。　This　is　their　very　first　reissue。

These　books　were　initially　written　as　romances；　with　the　primary　focus

on　the　love　story。　That　hasn't　changed　in　this　volume。　The　plots　are

exactly　as　they　were　in　the　original　versions。　I　have；　however；　slightly

edited　these　books　to　reflect　the　growth　in　my　writing　style　that　has

occurred　since　their　first　publication。

We　are　calling　this　two…book　volume　Rekindled　because　each　story　tells

of　a　relationship　that　is；　indeed；　reborn。　In　the　case　of　Flip　Side　of

Yesterday；　the　story　opens　with　Chloe　and　Ross　meeting　again　for　the

first　time；　eleven　years　after　a　brief　affair。　In　the　case　of　Lilac

Awakening；　the　relationship　between　strangers；　Anne　and　Mitch；　is

renewed　each　month　with　repeated　visits　to　a　secluded　Vermont　cabin。

Since　neither　book　is　as　long　as　my　current　books　are；　my　publisher

agreed　to　put　the　two　together　and　thereby　enhance　both　your　reading　and

your　fiscal　pleasure。

I　do　love　these　books　and　sincerely　hope　you　will；　too！

My　best　always；　Barbara　Delinsky

Flip　Side　of　Yesterday

The　evening　breeze　was　gentle；　softly　whispering　as　the　long…legged

vision　in　white　whisked　across　the　dusky　lawn；　her　dark　hair　streaming

behind　her；　and　ran　lithely　up　th
