Uncommonly perceptive, Alice's hunches are rarely wrong, and electricity behaves strangely when she's upset. When she loses her beloved nephew, Connor, Alice becomes profoundly depressed until a chance encounter with Buddhism offers hope to her broken spirit. Alice decides to take a cruise to get away from it all, which is exactly what happens. As the ship passes through the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, Alice, deep in meditation, slips away, only to awaken a dozen years in the past and thousands of miles away. She walks out of an energy vortex in a desert canyon outside Sedona, Arizona, displaced in time and space. Alice hides her identity by feigning amnesia and hatches a plan to change the deadly sequence of events that took young Conner's life. The clock is ticking and she has a new life to build as she positions herself to change one boy's tragic destiny. Scattered Years, A Paranormal Adventure Across Time, is the first volume of Lucy St. Clair's Time Passages Trilogy. "All fiction is some combination of allegory and auto-biography," Lucy says. "My time travel trilogy leans heavily toward allegory with a little autobiography in disguise. Science Fiction/Fantasy/Paranormal has been my chosen genre since childhood, first as a reader and now as a writer. My fate was sealed the day I wandered into the two-room library in Evans City, Pennsylvania and took Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn from the shelf."
