Publisher's Summary

"Must Reading—and then some." (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

"There have been many tales of parallel worlds, but few have this much heart, imagination, and good old-fashioned storytelling fun." (Steve Pick, radio host and author)

What if there were an alternate universe hidden next to ours? What if you found a way to go there?

Billy Boustany stumbles upon the ability to slip in and out of a surprising new version of his sleepy midwestern city. He discovers a teeming metropolis with iridescent skyscrapers and throngs of tourists from all over the world. He meets quirky characters and joins in wild parties. This adventure is most fun he's had in years.

Who can he tell about it? They're bound to think he's crazy or, even worse, they might make him stop going there.

Then, his college student daughter learns his secret—and she wants in on the action. Together, they explore further into this odd, funny world until they reach its most amazing destination, a magnificent city of Native Americans that has sprung up at an ancient site.

Billy also encounters a formidable enemy—the Knights, a secret society determined to keep people like him out of their world. They warn him to stay away—or else.

The story of another accidental traveler, a financial genius who finds his into the same city in the 1920s, reveals the alternate history of how this strange world came to be.
