At the end of AMBER HOUSE, Sarah made a choice that transformed everything--and now she must choose it all again.
Things are very different--better--for Sarah and her family: her Aunt Maggie grew up; her parents are happily married; her grandmother died after a long, productive and respected life. But other things are different too, and not for the better.
After growing up in the free country of the Pacific Northwest, Sarah Parsons has settled in at Amber House, the stately Maryland home that's been in her family for generations. But the world surrounding the House feels deeply wrong to Sarah. It's a place where the colonists lost the 1776 Insurrection, where the American Confederation of States still struggles with segregation, and where Sarah is haunted by echoes of a better world that she knows never existed.
Her friend Jackson shares these visions of a different world--and together, they manage both to remember the way things ought to be, and to plan a daring mission that will reset the universe once again. Sarah must figure out what has changed, and why, and how she can fix it--how she can find her way to another otherwhen.
Kelly Moore wrote the beginnings of the AMBER HOUSE trilogy years ago, but it wasn't until her daughters Tucker and Larkin Reed found the manuscript and convinced her to work on it with them that it became a full-fledged series. Drawing on family lore, Southern superstition, and classic fairy tales, the AMBER HOUSE trilogy is a unique work that is at once romance, Gothic horror, science fiction, fantasy, and family drama.
Neverwas picks up right where Amber House left off, kind of. When Sarah rescues her brother and aunt in the first book she changes the future. Neverwas takes place in modern times but with a government and society that lives in the past. I found the new world in this book took some getting use to though. I think that the writing of this book is wonderful and I am looking forward to the next installment in the Amber House Trilogy.
