Ashes and Acorns Morningwood: Ashes and Acorns Book One, Book ONE, (Paperback)

Girl meets boy. Girl loses boy in another dimension, world, land, whatever. It's a tale as old as time.

Samantha Vale's life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Luke Fletcher, but it goes completely off the rails when she finds his house unlocked and empty, and a peculiar book in the armchair where his butt should have been.

How is it that one day she's working the cash register at a gas station in Halifax, and the next she's discussing the recent changes in raptor migration patterns with a bunch of Renaissance fair actors just a few meters away from a supposedly cursed forest? A cursed forest that is decidedly not in Canada, given its tragic lack of reasonable proximity to a Tim Hortons.

Sam must navigate a world where gas stations don't even exist, yet talking squirrels, voyeuristic unicorns, and demons with weird motivations do in order to find Luke, and perhaps equally important, a way back home.

And all without her Timmy's fix.

That's a tall order.
