This is one of my favorite books by this author.
This is an EXCELLENT book, very emotional. Susan dies in a terrible car accident, and comes back to life in 1888 as the truly hatefull Margaret Johnsbury. As Maggie, she must overcome all the evil and malicious actions of Margaret, and earn the trust and love of all around her, including her husband
Beautiful time-travel romance set in Victorian-era Newport, RI. I was swept away by the strong emotions of Maggie and Carter and their impossible wreck of a marriage. Maggie truly had a task on her hands to win Carter over again, and many times I just didn't think she could pull it off. Maggie's transfer from her present into her new life in the past along with her subsequent adjustment was fascinating and realistic. Carter was a man pushed beyond his limits, and I ached for him as he experienced his own torment. Wonderfully done and thoroughly romantic; I absolutely loved it! Brava, Ms. Goodger! 5 stars!
Loved this book, I couldn't put it down.
Jane Goodger managed to write such a lovely book. She told such a heart felt story of a woman being given an extra chance at life for herself and her unborn child. If you like a romance with a "time travel" type of a twist you will definitely enjoy this book.
