About the Novel
Kit, the girl who can feel your pain… and maybe carry it for you too…
As a child, she brought a dying Christmas tree back to life simply by being near it.
Later, she began slipping into other people’s dreams.
But most strangely, she started absorbing emotions that weren’t her own—and pain too. Not just from people, but from plants and animals as well.
Kit has her suspicions about where these abilities came from, mostly from things her mother let slip. For the most part, she’s learned to live with them.
On a quiet beach trip with her best friend Janna, Kit discovers something carved into a cliff: a stone archway. No markings. No door. Just an opening to something else.
Only Kit can see it. Only Kit can pass through it. Janna is left behind, confused.
On the other side lies a world on the brink of collapse—a slow decay no one there seems able to stop.
And maybe Kit, and only Kit, can help. With some assistance from her best friend.
Far out in the cosmos, Kit may also discover that something—or someone—has been watching all along.
