Terrebonne: A grieving woman's broken soul transcends time to find healing in 1856 Louisiana
A time slip from present day West Virginia to 1856 Louisiana offers a widow the chance to confront God and grief in this speculative, historical fiction novel. Perfect for fans of Charles Martin or stories like The Shack.
Two years isn't long enough to recover from a broken heart, but it's plenty of time for Karla's anger to simmer for the God who took the love of her life. And when He then takes her nine-year-old son, Isaac– when he disappears without a trace from an antique store– her anger boils over.
Fuming, shattered, but determined, Karla sets out to find her son, returning to the antique store where he was last seen. But when an unexplainable phenomenon carries her to 1856 Terrebonne Parish, her quest becomes just as much about searching for God as it does for Isaac.

Magnificent Christian Novel
I’ve not read a book quite like this book of Robin Elaine’s. It is a time split novel but it’s written in such a unique perspective and was so wonderful and intriguing that I scarcely could lay it down to tend to my everyday chores! It was a dream within a time of grief within I don’t know what!! And I LOVED it!! It was such an inspirational book for a believer, one that you could almost believe was truly happening even though you knew it wasn’t, but WHAT WAS?? This is a MUST READ!! I heartily recommend this book, especially to anyone who has lost a loved one, and who has not? Thank you for this amazing, superbly written book, Robin Elaine! This was my first book of yours, but I will definitely be buying more of your books!!

I could not put this book down! So, I kept reading until I found out where the two main characters, Karla and her son Isaac, actually were in an 1857 fantasyland called Terrebonne. The plot has so many interesting twists and turns and ultimately shows God’s love and how He provides for us as His children.
Normally, I only read books once. Now I want to read it again!
