RIFT: Two Worlds Torn is now available on Amazon, inviting readers into a suspenseful, character-driven novel set along the Pacific Northwest coastline. When a modern family’s quiet camping trip near historic sites on the Columbia River is interrupted by a mysterious event, their familiar world gives way to an earlier century. Phones fail, landmarks feel altered, and the rules they count on no longer apply. What follows is a high-stakes struggle for safety, conscience, and connection.
Rabick builds the narrative around place, drawing on coastal forests, tidal flats, and river corridors that shape every decision the characters make. The sense of setting is immediate and steady, and the historical backdrop, touching on regional lifeways and early cross-cultural contact, adds weight without slowing the pace. The book’s momentum comes from human choices under pressure: how a parent protects a child, how a promise holds when conditions shift, and how ordinary people respond when history becomes immediate.
The novel engages themes of identity, responsibility, and faith while keeping tension front and center. Dialogue feels grounded, scenes are cinematic without excess, and the plot avoids easy turns. Readers who appreciate speculative hooks anchored in real geography will find the stakes clear and the emotional throughlines resonant. The coastal weather, the shape of the land, and the river’s pull all matter, shaping a world where small decisions carry lasting consequences.
Booksellers, librarians, and event organizers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond are welcome to request readings or author talks, in person or virtual, to spark community conversations around the novel’s themes.
RIFT is suited to book clubs and readers who enjoy discussion around ethics, family dynamics, and the way past and present can collide. The story raises questions that linger after the final page: What holds a family together when the ground shifts? Which values stay firm when modern comforts fall away? How do communities define themselves when timelines cross? Rabick points these questions toward hope without resorting to simple resolutions, allowing readers to sit with complexity.
