title: A Suffragette in Time
author: Lacy, Connie
description: Danger, romance and one woman's personal battle to make the world a better place.Thrown back in time to the 1850s, Sarah Burns transforms herself into a suffragette. But traveling the speaking circuit can be risky in a time when men believe a woman's place is in the home. It can be downright dangerous when she shares the stage with anti-slavery activists whose fiery rhetoric triggers violence.  Her uneasy alliance with an arrogant abolitionist may be heading toward romance, but it's a bumpy road with perilous obstacles, including slave hunters intent on kidnapping anyone they can sell down south. Living with a family operating a station on the Underground Railroad doesn't make life any easier. A Suffragette in Time is a fast-paced time travel story set against the backdrop of one of the most acrimonious periods in American history, as the fight over slavery escalates toward the Civil War.
