Lucy, a young girl struggling a little with the pressures of growing up in the modern world, finds her rather solitary life changed for ever one bitterly cold winters’ morning by an unexpected meeting with a strange furry creature, whom she accompanies on his quest to find a new home for his family, far away from the rapidly disappearing woodlands in which they live. The journey takes Lucy and her two large black dogs through a forest kingdom filled with fearsome predators still engaged in the struggles between good and evil within a natural world that humans have long since left behind. They venture into a future world where magic and mathematics have combined to create swirling eddies of time within which time itself is testing possible outcomes to the some of the problems that the advance of technology is creating in Lucy’s world. Little distinction remains between truth and fiction, between real and virtual lives, and technology has made much of what it meant to be human obsolete. Lucy has the challenge of finding where power lies and thereby extricate herself and discover a way to return to her imperfect present world in the past and which perhaps still has the time to solve its problems and avoid the outcomes that the future has in store.Lucy’s journey and those she meets on the way challenges her to reassess some of her own assumptions and teaches her that not everyone thinks as she does, nor believes what she believes, and that her truth is only one truth amongst many.
