Book Description:
The ultimate cure that could heal any disease? Crazy.
That's exactly what research scientist Marian Creighton has always believed
about her father's quest, even if it does stem from a desire to save her sister
Ellen from the genetic disease that stole their mother from them. But when her
father falls into a coma after drinking a vial of holy water believed to
contain traces of residue from the Tree of Life, Marian must question all of
her assumptions. He's left behind tantalizing clues that suggest he's crossed
back in time. Insane. Until Marian tests his theories and finds herself in the
Middle Ages during a dangerous peasant uprising.
William Durham, a valiant knight comes to Marian's rescue and offers her
protection . . . as his wife. The longer Marian stays in the past, the more she
cares about William. Can she ever find her father and make it back to the
present to heal her sister? And when the time comes to leave, will she want to?
Bestselling author Jody Hedlund is your guide down the twisting waters of time
to a volatile era of superstition, revolts, and chivalry in this suspenseful
story.
My Thoughts:
Wow! I’ve never read a book like Come Back to Me. I’ve read time travel,
but not with the intricate details and constant danger Jody Hedlund writes. One
thing I love about this story is the imagination Hedlund uses to set up the
story, but also the hope threaded throughout the book that life can be better,
miracles still happen, and love remains as a healing balm. Marian moves between
two worlds, very different times, yet she carries with her a faith and
conviction to help her father and heal her sister. William Durham is the
ultimate medieval knight, he’s brave, caring, and would do anything to keep his
people safe. If you enjoy time travel stories with twists, you’ll love this
story. I listened to Jody Hedlund in an interview. The research she’s done gives
the story depth and believability. I received a complimentary copy of this
book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
