"Who are you?" Ian managed at last in a cracked whisper.
"Emily Victoria Park," came the soft reply.
Ian knew that name. "That was...you must be...great grandmother Emily."

"Who are you?" Ian managed at last in a cracked whisper.
"Emily Victoria Park," came the soft reply.
Ian knew that name. "That was...you must be...great grandmother Emily."
"Yes."
"But," Ian continued, struggling to make sense of what was happening, "you've been dead for...almost forty years."
The old woman smiled. "Yes, I suppose I have."

As a child, Ian enjoyed his summers at the family cottage on the west coast, but now he's a teenager-bored, missing his friends in the city and arguing with his father who's always telling him how wonderful things were in the old days and how great his long-dead ancestors were.
After one particularly frustrating argument, Ian storms out of the cottage and, to assert his independence, decides to row over to a nearby island. That's when things begin to go wrong. He didn't check the tides and, as darkness falls and the weather deteriorates, he's swept out to sea. Exhaustion and hypothermia set in and Ian gets scared. Then he discovers he's not alone.

"Wilson shifts realities in a convincing way and his evocation of island life-on land and water, now and then, is masterful." Globe and Mail

"Adrift in Time is firmly anchored in its sense of place, rich in stories evocative of a region peopled by pioneers as recently as the nineteenth century" Resource Links
