Gathering Lost Time The curse is broken. Four members of the Knight family, now freed from a two-hundred-year old curse, walk out of the enchanted woods surrounding Mist House. Regaining human forms, this fragmented family must leave behind a son, Kiel, who has chosen immortality, and to do so has retained the shadowy form of a Mindcatcher. First welcomed as guests at Mist House this family, once lost in time, have now moved into a home of their own. Each day is a struggle to adapt to customs and technology of the modern world. Having once lived in luxury at Knights End, their Virginia cotton plantation, the family must now exchange fond memories for the harsher realities of the present. Jacob Knight, once the wealthy and prideful owner of the plantation, finds it difficult to set his pride aside. Brooding for everything he'd lost, Jacob now drinks to dull memories of that once productive life. His wife, Deidre, privileged Knights End Mistress, discovers many advantages to living in the twenty-first century. While performing manual and household tasks she'd previously never been required to undertake, Deidre must also deal with heartbreaking challenges threatening the well being of her family. Although sixteen-year old Sophie, and nineteen-year old Seth appear to be adjusting well to their new surroundings; the siblings are unable to forget their former lives, or the brother who still roams the woods as a creature of darkness. As the relationship between Seth and Micah Grant, the young girl who dispelled the curse, grows stronger; the Mindcatcher's influence on their friend, Becca Reed, has also increased to a dangerous level. It may already be too late to save Becca! The immortal has chosen her as the potential human vessel to carry it beyond the edge of the woods, and into the unsuspecting community of Zanesville, OH.
