In this historical fiction novel, thirteen-year-old Cinda Parker knows she and her brother Ian have a special mental connection. When a mysterious stranger, Lexi, arrives from the future, they realize they are more than typical mid-twenty-first century children. Lexi convinces the siblings to travel back 200 years into the minds and lives of their ancestors, in order to help their father, who is dealing with grief over his own father's death and anger with his brother's questionable choices. When their family line is disrupted, Cinda and Ian learn the true value of one single life. * * * Journeys Beyond the Peaks: Voices in the Past is a spin-off of M.F. Erler's popular seven-book series: The Peaks Saga. As the first book in this new saga, "Voices in the Past" moves the characters from time-travel future to time-travel past. Based on stories of the author's ancestors, this book offers unique and interesting perspectives of how descendants can learn from their past, and sheds more light on the families first introduced in The Peaks Saga. As these characters move through their lives, they show how all of us are products of our pasts, our present, and the future.
