Review Summaries
"Catty, a girl with the power to travel through time, discovers the secrets of her mysterious past. "
Justine, Resident Lynne Ewing Scholar
"When the dead body of Catty's long-lost mother is discovered in possession of a test Catty hasn't yet taken and a very tarnished pendant, Catty knows there was something special about her mother. She also knows, by the mysterious men that show up when her adopted mother takes her to identify the body, that someone else wants to keep those secrets hidden. So Catty travels back in time--her power as a Daughter of the Moon--to see what really happened all those years ago when her mother abandoned her on a lonely desert road."
