Moon Castillo has a secret she's never told anyone.
Since she was six years old, the past has bled through into her present. She sees what used to be — ancient forests where subdivisions stand, rivers where roads run, people who lived centuries ago walking through the same spaces she occupies. Her hippie parents called it a gift. Moon built an entire life proving them wrong — a career in data analysis, a rigid routine, a fortress of normalcy designed to keep the impossible at bay.
It worked. Until it didn't.
When a routine zoning meeting triggers the most powerful vision she's ever had — a wide, muscular creek running where county maps show nothing — Moon tries to ignore it. But the visions keep circling the same piece of land where a developer wants to build two hundred houses. Downstream of an aging dam. A dam that an engineer quietly warns is failing.
The records that could prove the danger are missing. Seven years of county files, gone. Erased, as if the creek itself never existed.
But Moon has seen the creek. She's heard it. And when she meets Estelle Lightfoot, a Mohican elder whose grandmother predicted that someone like Moon would come, she discovers that her lifelong curse may be the only thing standing between her town and disaster.
The documents that could save hundreds of lives are buried somewhere beneath the dam. The only map to finding them exists in a past that Moon has spent thirty years trying to deny.
A storm is coming. The dam is failing. And time as Moon is about to discover, has never worked the way she thought it did.
Not in Time is the fourth book in The Visible and The Invisible series — visionary fiction exploring the extraordinary gifts hidden in ordinary lives. For readers who love Alice Hoffman, Sarah Addison Allen, and stories where the impossible turns out to be the most real thing of all.
Genre: General Fiction
