This fifth volume of the Borrowed World Series centers on Alice Watkins, the Human Resources Manager who was one of the six that attended the seminar in Richmond before the terrorist attack. In summary it covers Alice’s prior misfortunes and then picks up with Alice on the road home. Alice’s troubles were not over by a long shot. There were more encounters before getting home and when she did finally make it the memories and visions would not let go of her. Alice’s psyche went through a lot of changes in the few weeks she was gone and the troubles continued. This is a sad chapter in the series, but it demonstrates the horrors and changes one can go through in such a crisis. The writing was so clear and the narration so descriptive that I felt sad for Alice. There were also sub-chapters relating to Jim, Gary and Randy, along with additions on Buddy and Lloyd. All-in-all a great addition to the series.
