READ THE BLURB
On the eve of the Battle of Shiloh, Union soldier Tyler Sheridan has a
premonition he is going to die. That night, he writes an epic anti-war poem
called “Never-ending Night.” The next day, a cannonball explodes in front of
him, but rather than walking through the gates of Heaven, Tyler steps into a
modern-day Civil War reenactment. Confused by a world he can’t comprehend,
Tyler has no choice but to rely on a beautiful and fascinating photojournalist
for help. As Stacy Sutton watches Tyler emerge from the rising smoke of faux
cannon fire, she’s amazed by the authenticity of his uniform and demeanor—and
then he claims to be from the nineteenth century, a mere delusion according to
doctors. But Stacy’s not convinced Tyler is delusional and sees helping him as
her second chance—an opportunity to atone for the death of her partner...and
her past. As the mystery surrounding Tyler’s appearance deepens, it threatens
any hope they have of a future together, and Stacy finds she must discover
whether the man she loves is a traveller through time or a mad man lost in his
own delusions.
READ THE REVIEW
I picked up this book because I love time travel and I love the Civil War...and I really enjoyed this book. So much so that I read it in one sitting.
Ms. Stowe did a tremendous job in creating three-dimensional characters --they aren't perfect, but they are real. Both Tyler and Stacy have their demons to confront and work through as they work together through the mystery surrounding Tyler's appearance.
Tyler's strong faith, even when he doesn't know who he is or what he's doing, serves as a light for Stacy to latch on to. There's no preachiness in this story--just a quiet faith that shines through. Good job, Ms. Stowe!
I will definitely be looking for more works by this author.
