IF YOU WOKE UP SEVENTY YEARS IN THE FUTURE--WHAT WOULD YOU FIND?
That's the premise of Falling Through Time, the new Eco-thriller from novelist Patrica Comroe Frank. Narrated in the first-person voice of Summer Holbrook, a hard-driving, advertising executive, the book leads the reader on the adventures and mis-adventures of when worlds collide: the day a marketer of mass consumerism meets deep ecology.
After an accident in Alaska, Summer wakes to a new world. It's a rocky awakening for her. The future these urban refugees have carved out of the remote wilderness in California's Siskiyou mountains is the polar opposite of the high consumption world she's left behind.
Accustomed to a a life rich with the best of creature comforts and luxury, she despises this new world of tiny population, absent technology, and a return to the basics of simple living.
Most puzzling of all to her is who are these mysterious villagers—these holistic healers, living so harmoniously with nature? Their post-consumerism way of life results in a culture clash filled with serious—and sometimes humorous—misunderstandings.
When Sophia, the village elder, traces the ecological “house of cards” that led to the environmental collapse, Summer is forced to confront her previous life of brands and the role she played in creating markets for foods and beauty products laced with chemicals.
The book can be simply enjoyed as a fast-paced adventure-thriller, but the astute reader soon discovers the book delves deeper. Falling Through Time is equal parts Back to the Future meets An Inconvenient Truth—spiced with the emotional zing of Eat, Pray, Love.
Falling Through Time is an unusual book as the author dares to “color outside the lines” as she crosses genres of contemporary fiction, science fiction, fantasy, and green living. The involved reader soon cheers for Summer as she undergoes her rejuvenation with help from Sophia, the wise and feisty village elder—along with a cast of colorful village characters, including Carna of the Kitchen, Dog Man, Keeper of the Kennels, and Forrest, steward of the woods and all its creatures.
The warm bond Summer forms with a feral dog perhaps teaches her the most important lesson of all: the genuine need we have for warm friendships, community, and being cherished. Her tender relationship with the dog begins to help this emotionally frozen woman begin to thaw.
This book is a joyful futuristic romp that maps out one possible scenario for man—and woman-kind: a kinder, more gentle peek into our future.
