Catherine Devine is an unlikely hero-stuck in a dead-end job, stalled in her forties-until she stops a truck with nothing but her mind. As she delves into the truth behind her psychokinetic abilities, she begins to suspect she can move more than objects-maybe even time itself. With her wolfhound, Hecuba, at her side, Cate sets out on a journey of self-discovery as she confronts buried talents, old wounds, and a destiny larger than she ever imagined. Forde skillfully weaves mythology into the mundane, and her fluid portrayal of time adds to its haunting ambiguity. Struggling with self-doubt, intuition, and a world quick to dismiss women's perceptions, Cate makes for a refreshingly unconventional heroine. Forde balances dry wit with poetic introspection, beautifully capturing Cate's internal turmoil. The dialogue is sharp, and the pacing is measured. The novel doesn't offer easy answers. Instead, it leaves the reader contemplating fate, perception, and the thin veils between past and present, reality and myth.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"A sharply written and deeply introspective novel that stays with the reader for a long time.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--The Prairies Book Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eA spellbinding literary novel!\u003c\/b\u003e This is one of those stories that is laid out carefully, quietly, and then bestows a 'wow' mystical factor at the end when the reader's mind catches up.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eRosepoint Publishing\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 470\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.05 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 18, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47265901969657,"sku":"9781959307426","price":26.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/hqQOQCKwbK9781959307426.webp?v=1768847093","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/guardian-of-the-crossroads-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
