When Bailey Cooper visits Medicine Mountain, an ancient Indian Spiritual site, she is enveloped in a thick fog and wanders off the side of a cliff while trying to find her car. When she regains consciousness, she finds herself in the home of Zachariah Gooden and his three teenage sisters. Bailey soon learns that the year is 1878 and she insists that Zach take her back to the cliff where he found her. Zach thinks the whack on her head may have caused her to believe she was from the future. He likes Bailey and asks her to stick around and teach his sisters, Faith, Hope, and Charity, how to be ladies. Bailey quickly realizes that the girls should have been named Chaos, Havoc, and Plague. Their shenanigans have the whole town talking. Bailey wonders if she has been sent back in time to help steer the girls in the right direction.

This story started out as a typical time-travel story. But it took a right turn into a murder mystery in the middle of the book. Zach is accused of killing the owner of the neighboring ranch and Bailey must use her background as an attorney to try to get him released from jail. My rating: 4 Stars.

Being a Native American holy place is the only reason the National Park Service has not been able to actually shut down the Medicine Wheel on the crest of Wyoming's Medicine Mountain. Still, people have mysteriously disappeared at the site even though only remnants remain of the centuries old structure. A few tourists, including Bailey Cooper, visit the site.
A strange occurrence happens and soon Bailey finds herself wrapped in a thick fog. Zach Gooden locates an unconscious

Bailey on his ranch. He takes her back to his home where she awakens with three little girls staring at her. Stunned to learn that she has traveled back over a century in time, Bailey begins to fall in love with her rescuer and his three sisters. While Zach struggles with an unknown assailant coveting his land, he too falls in love. Though Bailey wants to stay with Zach and the three hellions, she believes her time is in the future even if her heart remains in 1878.

YESTERDAY AND FOREVER is a pleasant novel that uses Indian mysticism as a chronological device to add time travel elements to a warm western romance. The characters are fun, though Bailey adjusts to the amenities of nineteenth century ranch life too easily. The three sisters live up to their names of Hope, Faith, and Charity even as their jocular actions provide sparks to the tale. By Jove, Vickie Presley scribes a pleasurable, entertaining book that Americana fans will relish.
