Where are the children? The small town of Sedan holds a secret in its idyllic midst. Are local legends true...is the Hollow a hunting ground for nocturnal beasts? Seven children have disappeared in the years between 1882 and 1994. Now, a sudden storm has forced four young cousins into the Hollow's forbidding cave. With ancient petrographs leading them into the mysterious depths, will the inadvertent adventurers' discovery of a fabled time portal lead to freedom...or doom? Where are the children...and can the power of love and their great-grandmother's ruby slippers transcend time to bring them safely home? The Kansas winds are rising....

A lone crypt inscribed "Sacred to the Memory, Charles Dummett 1844-1860" rests in the middle of a shady street in New Smyrna. The quiet beachside neighborhood is the former site of his father's riverfront plantation; Mount Pleasant. The cracked, marble-topped vault holds a family story of pioneer grit and courage in wild and dangerous jungles of territorial Florida; the chaotic settlement of New Smyrna through grisly Seminole Wars, and a divisive, bloody Civil War. Based on the life of Yale educated Douglas Dummett, originator of the Indian River citrus strain; he was a judge, Territorial and State Representative, and leader of the mounted militia...'The Moskito Roarers'. Set within an historical timeline in the age of Osceola, this is a local story of the Old South; triumph and loss, slavery and survival...and family secrets of forbidden love. This is where it happened, on this white sand tropical island paradise of New Smyrna Beach, Florida...where dolphins fly!
