A family of time travelers reunites in Maine in 1983.
Phoenix, Spring 1983. For the Carsons, five siblings from the present day, it has come down to this. Find the parents they have chased through time for more than two years or go home and resume their lives without them.
While Adam and Greg remain in Arizona and Natalie searches the country for leads, Cody and Caitlin travel to a summer camp in Maine, where their mother and father met as counselors. The twins, now 19, hope to intercept the older versions of their parents even as they work beside the younger ones.
All of the Carsons prepare for a reunion that seems inevitable. Then tragedy strikes one family member and seductive strangers pull two others in unhelpful directions as a summer of promise turns into one of uncertainty and sacrifice.
Filled with humor, romance, and heartbreak, CAMP LAKE, the poignant conclusion of the Carson Chronicles series, follows the lives of several spirited adults as they confront choices and change the era of big hair, space shuttles, and video arcades.
Hi, Ron. Thanks for your comments. The Carsons travel through time by passing through a translucent membrane near Sedona, Arizona, and other vortex locations. The membranes appear only during solstices and equinoxes. Much like the buzzing stones in Outlander, the device is rooted more in fantasy than science fiction. The particulars of time travel in the Carson Chronicles are explained more fully in the first two books than the last three. Hope this helps.
I have found time travel seems to be an often used (but considered impossible with current physics) convenient device by authors to write interesting historical novels. I really enjoyed watching the first seasons of Outlander, taking the viewer back to Scotland in the 1600s. In your description of Camp Lake, you give no inkling of how the "present day" Carson siblings managed to easily go back to 1983. I have to assume that the time travel literary device you use is explained in an earlier book in the series.
Just commenting. I will not be reading or reviewing this book because I'm too busy writing myself and trying to comment on all the postings here so that the authors get an opinion from another author for their hard work like yours.
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
