About this Item

Sarah Parsons has come to live at Amber House, her family's centuries-old estate, where rooms echo with ghostly reminders of the past. But the past and the present have gone horribly wrong somehow. the colonists lost the 1776 Insurrection, the American Confederation of States still struggles with segregation, and Sarah is haunted by visions of a time when things were different--a time that never was.
As New Year's approaches, Sarah tries to settle in to the House, helping her parents plan a grand exhibition, flirting with the handsome Richard Hathaway, and getting to know her childhood friend Jackson again. But when a new evil rises, she must enlist the help of those closest to her for a daring mission that will reset time altogether. It will involve objects from the past, knowledge of the future, a leap into the unknown. . . and in the end, a sacrifice Sarah never imagined.

About this title

Synopsis

"I was sixteen the second time I had my first kiss...."



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. It will involve objects from the past, knowledge of the future, a leap into the unknown ... and in the end, a sacrifice Sarah never imagined.

About the Author

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.
