Meghan Lancaster is a history students (working on her Phd) who is having a somewhat boring and simple life.  Well, really though, how simple can it be when both her parents were killed in a car wreck and she is left without family, on her own, and a bit tied to libraries, museums and well, the life of a student.Her new friend Eleanor (an older woman) tries hard to take the place of Meghan's mom.  Eleanor is hounding Meghan that she needs to get a life outside of history.  She needs a man!  Well, that doesn't go over well for Meghan.  But she loves Eleanor.One night though life changes.  A storm blows in and Meghan ends up time traveling back to pre-civil war days.  She is caught up in the struggle of abolitionist, slave owners, runaway slaves and also caught up in a love story.  She is falling in love, but how can that happen, he lives a 150 years before her time.  What is a girl to do, can't find a date in her day and age, so she time travels back to not only get a date, but fall in love!The novel is well written.  It is well researched and well worth the $2.99 you pay for it on Kindle.  As a matter of fact this is one of the books that I would be willing to pay $15 for because it is a great read.It is long, but don't let that scare you off.  It is great.  The writing will draw you in and keep you fascinated through the entire book.  You will want to keep reading to know how it ends.Most time travel books seem a bit childish to me, but this one is believable.  Meghan is believable.  Henry is believable.  And, well, the reactions of Meghan to her time travel are completely believable.  Julia Bresse is an author to keep your eye on.  She will return and I can't wait for her next book.Enjoy!
