Description
“Sometimes it’s best to leave magic alone.”
In this supernatural adventure, Evan and Caris St. John own a beach house on isolated Daufuskie Island off the South Carolina coast. After a hurricane strikes the island, Caris and their three children, Katie, Abby, and Will, discover a mysterious treasure chest in its wake. Unbeknownst to them, the chest has been sealed for nearly a century and a half. A mysterious Gullah woman rumored to be a witch predicted decades earlier that the family would break the seal and awaken the magic inside. The unbelievable begins to happen.
Through a sudden turn of events, the St. Johns find themselves whisked away on a desperate quest through time and space to reunite their family. Along the way, they must survive a brutal plantation overseer, the Confederate Army fleeing Sherman's March to the Sea, and one man lost in time who seeks to change his future and the course of history as we know it . . .
Everything now hinges on the actions they take in the present, as well as the actions they have already taken in the past, on Daufuskie Island.
Advance Praise
From Amazon:
“A very enjoyable story involving time travel and mystery. Multiple subplots keep one focused and entertained from start to finish. Makes you want to visit the island and imagine the periods of time invoked in the story line. An outstanding first novel for the author.” Victoria
“I have to admit that Daufuskie Island grabbed my attention from the start and would not let me go until I finished. I would plan to read 1-2 chapters each night before bed, however once I would dig in, this book grabbed a hold of me and would not let go. From the family dynamics (which I am sure many people can relate to), to the characters very believable reactions to their EXTREME circumstances, this novel had me on the edge of my seat many nights. The author did a wonderful job of walking a thin line between reality and fictional material and in the end, it came together quite beautifully having me yearn for more.
I hope there is another adventure in store for the St. John Family as I know I would be first in line to order myself a copy of your next book.” Lee
