Reynolds Naylor, Phyllis
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor was born January 4, 1933, in Anderson, Indiana, to a strongly religious family with conservative, midwestern values. Because her father was a traveling salesman, Naylor moved frequently and considered no one place “home.” During the summers, her family vacationed either in Iowa, where her mother’s parents lived, or in Maryland, where her father’s parents lived.

He ends up in a sort of Brigadoon world populated by descendants of the Melungeons, an historically factual group of people who have early 16th century Portuguese origins. They tell him he can leave anytime, but also keep him hostage, and he discovers that their world is shape shifting, and he can't really find his way back. The lesson they keep telling him is that he has to go back to go forward.
I think in the end the lesson was about conquering fear, but
