Travel Back in Time

Shadows from Her Past by Melanie Robertson-King

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What if you could travel back in time? What if during that time period before you were even born you married a wonderful man and adopted a little girl? And then suddenly you’re back in your present time, the victim of an accident, and want desperately to return to your husband and daughter? What would you do?

In Author Melanie Robertson-King’s novel SHADOWS FROM HER PAST Sarah Shand faces such a situation. When she awakes from a coma caused by the accident, her parents and the doctors think she’s confused when Sarah tells them about Robert Robertson and Jenny, her new family. Could her memories be only a dream or a result of her injuries, which almost killed her?

Told in alternating points-of-view from Robert, who sometimes appears to Sarah but then disappears as quickly, and Sarah, who is beginning to have feelings for David Robb a medical student that took care of her, the couple attempt to discover the truth. But Sarah and Robert run into all sorts of complications in their struggles to get back together again. And I could not stop reading until I knew if they succeeded.

Melanie Robertson-King has a special touch when creating her characters. She makes them so real you want them to succeed in their quest for happiness or whatever they’re looking for. In SHADOWS FROM HER PAST the author weaves a mystery, a romance, and a family that you hope will find happiness in their lives.

This is a great sequel to SHADOWS IN THE PAST. I enjoyed meeting Sarah and Robert again, along with the old familiar characters and the new ones too. Even if you haven’t read the first book, I think you’ll enjoy this one. You might want to read them both.
