When a hike in the woods goes horribly wrong, young Shirley is forced to think on her feet and grow up quickly in Tim Haley's YA novel, Her Vision Quest (Friesen Press, 2014). While saving her father from a terrible fall, Shirley notices an unusual cave in the distance. She soon finds that she is unable to shake the vision of it in her mind and embarks on a long journey of discovery. Aided by a mystical friend, she stumbles on more than she bargained for in the darkness of the strange cavern. This is a story of adventure, friendship, and self-discovery firmly rooted in the culture, dramatic landscape, and magic of northern Vancouver Island.

Tim Haley is a goldsmith, sculptor, painter and musician. He grew up in Colorado where he learned to love the outdoors and worked on small cattle ranches. After studying art in Boston, he moved his family to Black Creek, Vancouver Island, where they homesteaded and built a house in the bush. He currently operates a jewellery store, art gallery and jewellery academy in Courtenay where he lives with his partner and youngest daughter.
