Shadows On The Road Not Taken - Paperback

by D. Wayne Harbison (Author)

Lance McKnight, a fifty some odd year old college professor wakes up at a critical point in his life in his 13 year old body all the way back in 1977. As he slowly comes to grip with the idea that he is now on a hero's journey, he navigates a personal history that is frightening in both its familiarity and its differences. Taking inspiration from a Robert Frost poem, he chooses The Road Not Taken, and sets out to rewrite his history, only to discover that this new reality is rewriting him as well. With the appearance of the mysterious and deadly gwyner, a creature from his grandfather's tales told to keep children close to the house, he discovers just how much he is being changed. When the gwyner takes a personal interest in him, things turn deadly as his little brother is taken as bait, Lance is forced into action, and he must risk his own life to avoid losing everything.
