A sleep disorder specialist's world starts to crash in around her when she is diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor and her test subject dies after what appeared to be a break with reality, claiming that he had achieved time travel while in a dream state. Her study is closed down, she has nothing left, but her own need to finish her work. Kennedy Plain uses herself as a guinea pig, using sleep deprivation followed by detailing what happens when she does sleep and dream. Kennedy's dreams seem to take off where Mac, her test subject's left off in 14th century England. She is hurled into a different time, with lords and castles and where(gasp!)people do not wear underwear!Each time she allows herself to sleep, the dream takes off again, and not only does she find herself healthy and whole, she finds herself falling for the lord of the castle, who, as history states, is condemned to death for a murder he did not commit. Each time she dreams, she finds she is able to change history just a little and comes to realize that Mac was right, she IS time traveling. With nothing but death in her future in the 'real' world, she must decide to stay here or dream herself back in time.Kennedy was strong, driven and handled herself with confidence. Fulk Wynland, the lord in her dreams, is the embodiment of a medieval warrior. Together, they cause sparks to fly!This is the best of many reading worlds: not too intense, fun, funny, romantic, fantastical, well-written!
