This novel is a really interesting take on the old "fairy snatching" legends of the British Isles. Tara shows up at her parents' door on Christmas Day - 20 years after she disappeared in the Outwoods without a trace, and looking very much as she had back in 1983. She proceeds to tell a very detailed story of how she rode off on a white horse with an intriguing stranger, and had to stay at the odd and wondrous place he took her for six months before she could "cross back over" to home.
I don't want to give the story away, but let's just say that Tara seems perfectly sane, she willingly submits to psychiatrists, medical tests, and anything else they ask but won't change her story. There's an interesting side story with a kooky old neighbor and her cat too.
The end is a bit of a stunner too. A really enjoyable read.
