Book Description:
In the last stages of a genetic disease, Ellen Creighton has decided to live
out her remaining days at the estate of her longtime friend Harrison
Burlington. Harrison cares deeply for Ellen, but as a wheelchair-bound
paraplegic, he's never allowed himself to get serious in a relationship.
However, he's desperately trying to save her by finding the holy water that is
believed to heal any disease.
When he locates two flasks, Ellen refuses to drink one of them because she
believes the holy water killed her sister and father. In an effort to convince
her to take it, Harrison ingests the contents first, and when Ellen witnesses
the effects, she can no longer deny the power of the substance in the bottles.
Dangerous criminals are also seeking the holy water, and Ellen soon learns they
will go to any lengths to get the powerful drug--including sending her back
into the past to find it for them.
My Thoughts:
I've read both of Jody Hedlund's Waters of Time books. Book 1, Come Back to
Me and book 2 Never Leave Me are both such interesting and
fascinating stories. They should be read in order. Hedlund's imagination and
research meet up and explode into stories I would never have dreamed of. The
whole concept of time-travel seems so out of reach, yet she writes with such
authority, I wanted to believe Ellen and Harrison could make the journey. With
danger lurking and incredible circumstances, Ellen draws courage from within as
Harrison's faith carries them through the unbelievable. I received a
complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are
completely my own.
