3.0 out of 5 stars storyteller, November 25, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Summers world is blown apart when Cameron comes into her life. She's a healer from a long line of healers and loves the ponies that surround her on the small island. Something is different about Cameron but she can't put it all together until one day he explains to her that he is an alien from another planet. A planet called Cyteron where her dead mother now resides. He explains the ways of his planet and tells her that it's hers too which can't possibly be true, or can it? Good story! Who knows, maybe someone I know is an alien and I don't know it! Maybe one day we'll all find out if this is possible. Very interesting premise to think your neighbor could be from another planet, another galaxy. Why not!!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully creative and, as always, very well-written, June 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Outsider (Paperback)
Barbara Delinsky is my favorite author and this book doesn't disappoint. Yes, you may have to suspend your imagination (doesn't almost every novel ask you to do that?), but within the confines of the characters she creates and the place where they live, I totally bought the whole thing from beginning to end. Each character has their own distinct voice, which helped to make them really come alive. A definite re-read. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
