Examining the natural world, how we're raised as kids, and more in this thrilling new novel. Panther Gap by James. A. McLaughlin. Flatiron Books. pp.368. $28.99.

And the first significant thing was a dream I had a really long time ago.  There was a boy lost in the desert, he found a door that led into a cliff, then a girl walked out and they went to her house.
