Have you ever thought it would be fun to travel back in time temporarily, or maybe permanently? How would it feel to meet and get to know your long-gone ancestors? Or walk through historic homes that are now brand new. Or just experience how people lived long ago, not just read about the famous in history books. Something like that unexpectedly happened to Brian and Lisa. It happened during the night of September 9, 1999. In their separate rooms, they both had a dream about falling. In the morning, they woke up in the year 1865. Was it destiny, a miracle, an accident, or a curse? Together, they met Brian's young and beautiful great-great-grandmother. His family had always known her face from the ancient portrait of her that still hangs above the fireplace in the family cottage in 1999. Now, they have met the flesh and blood woman she was over a hundred years ago. Brian and Lisa were shocked by what happened to them. They didn't want to stay in the 1800s. He had a wife; she had a fiancé in 1999. But the two had to make the best of their situation. They were invited to live in Brian's ancestors' home. As the weeks went by, Brian and Lisa adapted to living in the 1800s and started to build a life together. The Civil War was over, and the country was growing. They were now part of it. But destiny had other plans for them. It all started as a frightening experience, became an adventure, then a curse, and even heartbreaking at times. If given a choice, do they want to return to their financially successful lives and go on with their 1990s partners as if their time travel never happened? Or will the love they now have for one another change their desire to go back to 1999? Or had Fate already decided? Readers' Advisory: THE FOREVER COTTAGE is the first novel in a four-part family saga. While this story has an ending, there are other parts that are not resolved. Book 2, THE SECRET, starts where THE FOREVER COTTAGE l eaves off. (It was originally one very long novel.) All storylines are tied up in ways you won't expect. THE TRIPLETS, Book 3, is a brand new, stand-alone story, but most of the characters are from the first two books. So, you need to know the history to enjoy it fully.
