Time is running out for biologist and environmentalist Garrett Evergard; he must find a
compelling reason to preserve the unspoiled Pacific
Northwest rainforest from destruction. Fortunately, Garrett’s
encounter with a spirit bear, as well as the witch Bryson Summers, leads to the
salvation of both the rainforest and Garrett.
To The Other
Side is the first book in
the Terra Book series. The plot is a
heartwarming romance. The setting is beautifully detailed. Centuries ago, the
discrimination against anyone different from society’s majority so prevalent on
the Earth side caused a mass influx into non-prejudice Terra. However, the
European social composition of the aristocratic and poor, along with power-hungry
villains, still subsists in Terra. Terra is also inhibited by all manner of
rare creatures with distinct personalities. The fascinating characters are persuasive.
Bryson is the designated gatekeeper; his job is to maintain balance between Earth
and the dimensional Terra. This is a key position because the destruction of
one side of the planet could also destroy the other side. Bryson is an enormously
compassionate witch who uses his magic to heal people, especially the poor.
Bryson lives inside a tree that borders an enchanted valley where sacred
animals are protected from those who seek to kill them. Garrett has the same
love of nature as Bryson which makes Garrett and Bryson the perfect soul mates.
