The Many Lives of Makepeace Young

Historically inaccurate novella. A biographer follows round Bailey Makepeace Cho, a homeless young girl from LA, to write her life. And not just her current life, but a selection of her past lives. The writer pops up throughout history. They have unlimited access across all of time and space, and they aim to see what survives of a person across different versions of themselves. Does their story repeat?
