Short description

What would you do if a geyser catapulted you back in time, into the middle of an Indian war? 20-year-old college dropout Chuck McManis gets to find out. The hard way.

But he has to risk everything to earn the chance to stay, or lose everything he has become and everyone he loves.

He does know he can’t abandon Eliza Byrne, the woman who taught him both. By the time they struggle back to civilization, 1870s style, Chuck has discovered courage and competence he never knew he possessed. Then comes the risk, and the opportunity, to fulfill the legacy he’d left for himself the last time around, and he must face decisions he never wanted to make, that could cause him to lose not only his own life and that of the woman he loves, but to destroy his own future before it ever had a ch..

Review by: Jacki Knight on Oct. 17, 2011 :
An enjoyable journey through an unfamiliar landscape - made all the more interesting by the author's obvious love for her setting. An interesting premise in a story brought alive by well-constructed and lively prose, vivid description and believable engaging characters. Eagerly anticipating the sequel.
