The captivating sequel to the award-winning The Day the Angels Fell
Before the Tree of Life, everything in Abra Miller's life had been
predictable. But after the Tree and the lightning and the angels,
everything felt tenuous, like holding a soap bubble in the palm of
her hand. She spent years looking for signs of that other world,
waiting for it to break through. When it didn't, her friendship
with Sam Chambers grew cold and distant, and they both wondered how
any of it could actually have happened.
Four years later, 16-year-old Abra's long-delayed quest to find the
next manifestation of the Tree of Life is renewed when she sees a
woman walking up the road--a woman who looks exactly like Sam's
dead mother. The woman directs her to New Orleans where she will
find the grave of Marie Laveau, one of seven gateways between this
world and Over There. As Abra enters The Edge of Over There and
begins her pursuit of the Tree once more, she doesn't know whom to
fear or whom to trust. But she's starting to think that some
doorways should never be opened.
The captivating sequel to the award-winning The Day the Angels Fell
***************************
Abra Miller carries a secret and a responsibility she never
expected.
Before the Tree of Life, everything in Abra Miller's life had been
predictable. Safe. Normal. But after the Tree, everything has felt
fragile . . . like holding a soap bubble in the palm of her hand.
After years of fruitless searching for the next Tree, she begins to
wonder if it was nothing more than a vivid dream.
Now sixteen, Abra finds a clue to the whereabouts of the next Tree
of Life when an ominous woman--who looks exactly like a ghost from
her past--compels her to travel to New Orleans where she'll find
one of seven gateways between this world and Over There. But she's
not the only one interested in finding the gateway. There's also a
young man searching for his father and sister, who escaped through
it years before. As Abra enters the Edge of Over There and begins
her pursuit of the Tree once more, she doesn't know whom to fear or
whom to trust.
She's also starting to think that some doorways should never be
opened.
