DESCRIPTION:
A. Bell said There's a Whole Lot'a Shakin' Goin' On. Here's the thing. I don't like bodice-ripping (or buckskin-ripping) romances.

Maggie finds an unusual stone Time travel at it's finest. Maggie finds an unusual stone, gets her blood on it and back in time we go to 1622. It doesn't hurt that her rescuer is a handsome hunk of blue-eyed Native American. Of course it is impossible for the two of them to get along or stay away from each other. I like it that the author was inspired by a bit of family history. Highly recommended for fans of time travel. I think it's as good or better

Probably owing to the quality prose, everything had a vividness to it." -Review of ABNA excerpt . The protagonist coming to grips with her new surroundings had an integrity and realism to it that many such stories lack. I also appreciate how authentically the time travel was portrayed
