Summary
Unknown EDITORIAL REVIEW: In *Gateways*,
Jack heads south to Florida when he learns his estranged father
is in a coma after a car accident. In the hospital Jack meets
weird old Anya, one of his father's neighbors, who seems to
know an awful lot about his family. In an isolated area of the
Everglades, a young woman named Semelee who has strange talents
and lives with a group of misshapen men, feels Jack's presence.
She senses that he's "special," like her. Back at his Dad's
senior community, Gateways South, there's a ban on watering.
Florida is going through an unusual drought, and everything is
brown and wilting. Everything except Anya's lawn, which is a
deep green. Who is Anya? Who is Semelee, and what is her
connection to the recent strange deaths of Gateways residents?
And what are the "lights" Jack keeps hearing about? Lights that
emanate twice a year from a sinkhole deep in the Everglades . .
. lights from another place, another reality. If he is to
protect his father from becoming the next fatality at Gateways,
there are questions Jack must answer, and dangerous secrets he
must uncover.
