Eighteen year old Cascade Johnson and Matthew Bestry declare
their love and consummate their engagement at their favorite
hideaway before Mattie leaves for army boot camp. The first
time for both of them makes this special and binding. Their
world is turned upside down as 3 older boys approach from
the woods, killing Mattie and sodomizing and viciously
raping Cadie, nearly killing her as well. In a coma for a
month, Cadie is devastated beyond reason to return to a
world without the love of her life.
Jackson Bestry returns from the army to console his parents
over the loss of his brother and endeavors to help Cadie
leave the devastation behind her. Unknown to Cadie, Jack
has been in love with Cadie from the moment he received her
first picture from Mattie. Reaching out to each other to
endure a life without Mattie, Jack declares his love for
Cadie too soon. Jack is the only person she has been able
to lean on but feels tremendous guilt for any feelings that
she might be beginning to have for him. An auto accident
becomes a miracle for Cadie when she is taken to another
place in the mind beyond time and is again with Mattie.
Mattie again gives her the ring that was stolen at the time
of the assault and told to embrace her life and accept the
love his brother is offering. Returning to this world in
her mind, the stolen ring is in her lap. Having sex with
Jack might be the final challenge for Cadie. Then Mattie
will be free to move on once Cadie is safe and happy again.
BEYOND TIME is such an emotional story of a young girl
learning to trust and love again. Once her first love is
gone, there is nothing left in her life to live for. It
takes the after-world to bring things back in balance and
leave her with a renewed vision of her life ahead. Both
brothers are remarkably thoughtful and loving men that give
Cadie the reasons to go on. I truly enjoyed reading this
tale and had wished that it continued longer. I hope to
find more creations from Wendy Stone. She has a real
ability to keep the reader interested with fresh ideas.
