Synopsis

When successful musician and producer Bobby Sawyer's earliest musical mentor falls terminally ill, Bobby returns to the place where they grew up to comfort his friend and say farewell. Through another of their original partners, Bobby learns of an ancient ritual that he can employ to extend his dying friend's life; what he doesn't know is that choosing to do so will have a dramatic impact upon his own life and career.

Genre and Themes

Part historical fiction, part pop music chronology, and all supernatural spellbinding mystery, Across a Border is the rare first novel that will make you wonder, smile, and even bring back favorite old songs as you accompany its characters from their beginnings — in some cases, all the way back to the early days of the Underground Railroad — into the present.
