Vicki Roadcap dies for moments.
A violent water-skiing accident leaves her revived—then suspended in a coma that lasts for days.
When she wakes, Vicki can’t fully explain where she’s been. Only that she crossed into a place between life and death—a place she comes to call The Portal.
As Vicki and the people who love her struggle to reconcile the woman they knew with the one who returned, unsettling questions emerge:
What happens in the space between arriving and departing?
Can the boundary between the natural and the supernatural be crossed—and crossed back?
And what is carried home from a place not meant to be remembered?
The Portal is a contemporary novel about survival and aftermath, about family, love, and the unseen forces that quietly shape our lives.
Subtle, emotional, and quietly haunting, it explores the fragile line between what we accept as reality—and what may exist just beyond it.
