Into the Mist
Victoria and Katherine enter the last half of their year of living in each other’s lives, or as moonseed, what Katherine’s Indian nurse calls time travelers. As Victoria faces incidents of betrayal, violation, and loss, she discovers within herself unexpected resources and, in the process, realizes that she is becoming a different woman altogether. Living in the present time, Katherine, too, is learning to live and to love in new ways that at last bring her closer to Ryan, even as the new spring moon approaches and brings to a close their year of exchange.
In this final book in the Moonseed trilogy, both women face the threat of being returned to their own times, and each must decide for herself how to live each moment, how to hold onto what matters most, and how to let go for love’s sake.
Reviews
Ms. Ingram’s characters are magnificent. Katherine and Victoria are catapulted through a bewilderment of unfamiliar emotions―love, hate, jealously, desire―as they struggle to understand their new environs and the “new” men in their lives who are as confused as they are at the bizarre changes in Katherine’s and Victoria’s personalities. This book is an exciting conclusion to the “Moonseed” trilogy. Will Katherine’s and Victoria’s lives revert back to the eras from which they came? Do they want to go back? Do they have a choice? Although you will be able to follow the story and the characters from this book, I suggest you read the first two books, “Bridge to the Past” and “Borrowed Promises” before embarking on “Into the Mist” so you get the full enjoyment from this wonderful trilogy.
I am not only writing a review for “Into the Mist,” but for Ms. Ingram’s Moonseed trilogy, which works fascinatingly together as one intriguing whole. I recommend that you read all three! What strikes me is that the author never skips a beat between the three books and the writing grows deeper, crisper and more pointed from one book to the next. It is an intriguing set of complex and layered tales of clearly defined characters caught in the web of role reversal and time travel, centered in rural California. It is insightful and clever with regard to each character’s subtext and interior life, so astoundingly so that as I read each book, I kept thinking surely this author knows her way around the subject of psychology! Ms. Ingram gifts the reader with character insight that has resonance and universal application! Into the Mist is my favorite book of Ms. Ingram’s trilogy. It is not just about time travel, it is fathoms deep, well crafted, unpredictable, and intelligent. With romance, historical interest, vivid settings and plenty of mystery, “Into the Mist” is gripping and part of a trilogy you will want to share with your friends.
