ARE YOU A FAN OF “BACK TO THE FUTURE”? ALMOST AN ANGEL is about a woman who’s back visiting FROM the future. Klutzy, loveable Sameh Smith, an aspiring Adept, was born 500 years from now.

She’s better at recognizing honesty and understanding what’s really going on in people’s minds and hearts. What’s going on in P.I. Adam Hawkins head when he first sees Sameh is definitely X rated. Adam is adept at seduction, disparaging of love, except when it comes to kids. He relies on subterfuge in relationships, Sameh knows only total honesty.
