5 CRANKY STARS


This is a delightfully different book. I loved the characters and the world the author created. The whole subject of parallel universes is fascinating. It’s a simple story but tugs at your heartstrings. Makes one wonder, how would I react if this happened to me?


Kitlyn and her sisters Sybi and Bree are in their fifties. They live in northern Maine and are former circus performers. Their parents owned the circus. Kit was an equestrian performer and a tragic accident left her scarred and broken. She has not been able to ride a horse since the accident and is prone to flashbacks. As if life hasn’t been hard enough, she has been diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease. It’s not just her either, all three of the sisters are affected by this genetic disease. It means a terrible and painful death at some point. However, the women try to remain upbeat and live their lives to the fullest.


One sunny afternoon, they are hiking the mountains in Acadia when they stop on a cliff side to enjoy the view. The cliff gives way and all three tumble to “somewhere”. Kit wakes up at the bottom of a cliff in a cold creek and can’t find her sisters. She is in a thin dress and nothing looks familiar. All she knows is that she will freeze if she doesn’t start moving. Carefully, she fights her way up the steep cliffside to the top and passes out under a tree. When she wakes again, she is in a vehicle with a strange but handsome man. He takes her to a strange medical clinic where she sees herself for the first time since the fall. Who is she? The image staring at her in the mirror is a twenty something woman with no scars and a perfect body. After her medical exam she is told some shocking news. Where is she and what has happened?
