Leah will never forgive her mother for her lies and manipulation, especially the ones that forced her and Chloe to close the Ring of Time. She's determined to heal from the trauma of that night and move on with her life-without Lillian in it.
When Lillian wakes up lost, disoriented, and missing over twenty years of memories, she has no idea it's because she somehow managed to reopen the Ring of Time. Now she feels like a lost teenager in a modern-day world where those closest to her see her as a villain, accusing her of crimes she doesn't remember committing.
Leah is terrified of what Lillian might do with her renewed abilities, especially as it becomes clear that Lillian may actually be a Master of Time. But the more she gets to know this innocent version of her mother, the less certain she is that she wants to close the Ring and allow Lillian to go back to who she was. Would it be wrong to leave her the way she is, trapped in her memory loss? And is it worth risking the possibility that Lillian might remember anyway...and turn back into the domineering, unfeeling woman she was?
The conclusion of the Ring of Time series, Skipped is a thought-provoking YA speculative fantasy about redemption and trust, in which Leah and Lillian find themselves facing the timeless question: Can people really change?
