An intersection in time brings together a girl from the past and a guy from the future together to take an existential quest for ❤️ & meaning in Joshua tree, a magical CA desert – – a quest that teaches them about resilience, sacrifice, & what it means to be alive #Questpit #AG #W #YA

Nix & Sol intersect in time on an existential quest to save the world and save each other. If Nix helps Sol will he exist? If Sol helps Nix will they ever meet? If their plan works, will TIME ever let them be together? #Questpit #W #AG #YA

Check out fellow bsky military brat, @bookthreader.bsky.social ‘s book, MISO MAGIC! 💖

I wish I had more books like this back when my kids were littles. Having spent many of my formative years on Okinawa,the Japanese & Okinawan culture of my friends’ families still touch my own.
