This book had an interesting story, but it was not really well-written (which is strange for Denise Giardina). But it ended with a cliff-hanger and, apparently, there will not be a sequel. I would really like an answer to the cliff-hanger question; I know how he knew who, but I'd like to know why!
Part time travel, part historic novel, all adventure! From the mountains of West Virginia to puritanical 1650's England, time and reality are bent, but human strengths and flaws remain universal. I couldn't put this book down!

one of my favorite books of all time. Borrowed it from the library several times and loved it each time i read it.
Although interesting in its concept, the book can get preachy at times and is not one of Giardina's best efforts.
