"This is one of the most powerful books I have ever read. And yes, I smiled. And, Dear God ... Yes, I wept." Gregg Tyler Milligan, internationally-renowned, award-winning author and abuse prevention advocate.
"Rowland takes on the challenge of abuse and forgiveness with writing rich in sensory description and spiritual magic. A young woman on a courageous journey to learn the truth behind her family’s silences, secrets, and lies uncovers a horrific history of sexual abuse over generations, in Lynne Marie Rowland’s luminous and wise book." Foreword review
"One of the things I really liked about the book was the end. Life is not about finding a way to deal with the pain, but finding a way to move past it and open yourself up to the life you want to lead. I found that message to be a very powerful one." Child Abuse Survivor. net review
"The powerful story will nonetheless particularly appeal to survivors of childhood trauma." Kirkus review
When a young woman takes a journey to learn the truth behind her family’s secrets, she uncovers an answer that will change her. To find that truth, Elinor returns to her childhood fantasy world, confronting the evil Necromancer of Gwennec Mor. She does not realize that Jimmy, the man who broke her heart, is essential to fulfilling her destiny. She also does not realize that the paths of both her grandfathers and her mother who narrate the book, along with her child self, are inextricably linked across time, and that her quest is the only way that her entire family can be free. How far will Elinor go to save herself and the people she loves?
