Meet Me at the Crossroads

Meet Me at the Crossroads by Megan Giddings is a powerful and imaginative novel that explores the bond between two sisters when their world is forever altered. Known for her vivid storytelling and ability to blend the surreal with the deeply personal, Giddings offers a tale that is both otherworldly and emotionally grounded.

The story begins when seven mysterious doors appear across the world, inviting people to enter what seems like a beautiful, resource-rich new dimension. It feels like a miracle, an escape, a chance for something greater. But as the doors begin to draw people in, the darker truths about this new world start to surface.

At the center of it all are Ayanna and Olivia, twin sisters growing up in the Midwest. They are close, but different in their perspectives and desires. When one of them decides to step through the unknown and then goes missing, the other is left behind to grapple with the absence. What follows is a journey filled with questions about trust, identity, faith, and the powerful pull of family love.

This novel is not just a sci-fi exploration of alternate dimensions. It is a deeply human story about connection, loss, and the choices we make when confronted with the impossible. Giddings writes with clarity and care, creating a world that is as enchanting as it is unsettling.

Meet Me at the Crossroads is a moving, richly layered novel that will stay with readers long after the final page. It is a celebration of sisterhood, a meditation on belief, and a reminder of the courage it takes to find your way when everything you know begins to shift.
