Summary
After being robbed and left abandoned on the side of the road, young Josh is thankful to the Melungeons who tend to his wounds in their remote village in the Appalachians, yet soon Josh realizes that something is eerily wrong and begins to fear that leaving the town won't be as easy as he expected. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: trapped in a world that time forgot
Josh is hitchhiking his way from Massachusetts to Dallas and a new life he didn't ask for and doesn't want, when he is beaten, robbed, and abandoned beside a remote mountain road. He awakes in a strange, primitive village called Canara, seemingly hidden from the modern world, with no cars or telephones or electricity.
But are the people of Canara Josh's rescuers or his jailers? As he slowly heals from his injuries and the tragedy he has been running away from, Josh begins to realize that Canara is far stranger than just an isolated community passed over by time. How can hills and trees shift in place, and even buildings appear and then vanish? Why can't he escape from Canara? And does he really want to?
