She was alive. She was safe. But where? And at what cost?
Fern is an ordinary teenager until tragedy strikes.
Trapped in a house fire, her only means of escape is by a paranormal gift she never knew existed. She is transported instantly from all she knows—family, home, friends—to a distant world from which she is unable to return. There, her highly psychic rescuers lead a primitive lifestyle, hiding from an alien race that had once enslaved them.
While dealing with homesickness and grief, Fern struggles with a new language, unusual customs, and unrequited love. Her efforts to fit in often fall short. Despite this, she becomes a contributing member of the community. In the end, it is her vigilance that saves the lives of her new people.
Follow Fern’s adventures on a planet very much like, yet very different, from Earth, where she learns to appreciate the complexities of human nature and and comes to terms with herself.
Trials by Fire, an award winning novel, is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
