In 1952 as UFOs appear across the nation, sixteen-year-old Allana Odette Blair is visited and marked. Still suffering from grief after accidentally killing her twin brother on December 7, 1941, she is considered unstable. Disbelieved and diagnosed with the Alice-in-Wonderland syndrome-after all, anyone claiming to have encountered small grey creatures and who continues to see an ever changeable dead is unable to separate reality from fantasy-she is lured into a relentless game that takes her through portals to other dimensions, Allana struggles to find her place in a world threatened more by human frailties than alien strength. In this allegorical tale of grief, Allana discovers all is not what it seems, not in the universe, politics, science or religion. A psychological fantasy, this novel is based on actual events and includes Book Club discussion prompts. Appropriate for age 13 to adult.
