Jewl&James

James and Jewl live in Portland, Oregon in the near-future.  Jewl is five years older, and they have apparently never met and are not related, yet when they do meet, they immediately sense a powerful connection.  James considers they are bonded, that their bodies know each other; Jewl is skeptical and wary:  how can this be, and what if they are related or bound by trauma?  Only an adventure into the past and into the Columbia River Gorge can answer why.  Like Emma and Knightley in Jane Austen's novel, are they truly destined for each other?
