Plunge In to the Worlds of Temi Black Between Two Worlds is a fantasy realism story about a hybrid breed of people who have the ability to change shape into mountain lions. They can also travel in time, but they are governed by a unique set of limitations. The people of the Mountain Lion Clan live in the Blue Mountains of Oregon, in the foothills of Picpic Mountain, meaning "cat" in the Cayuse language. Their power is rooted in the heart of this mountain, and it diminishes when they travel too far away. The people of the mountain lion clan believe that their brief travels though time are spiritual in nature. Temi exhibits exceptional power by traveling without warning as a child. Her mother panics and moves Temi away from the mountains. John is simply a visitor in the mountains, who comes for his annual fishing trip. He crosses paths with Temi on three occasions, twice when she is a small child, and once when she is in her teens. All three visits occur within the span of two days When John and Temi meet up in the modern day, they begin to discover how their timelines are connected, and how their destinies might unfold. There are unique aspects to the lion clan people, such as what happens when a member of the clan breeds with a human, how it works when one jumps forward, or backward, in time, how the young come in to their powers, what happens when they stay away from the mountains, and even what happens when they die. Between Two Worlds also has some great cliffhangers, while wrapping up the story, leave you wanting to know more...
