Come Back To Me

 I can always be assured that when I pick up a book by Author Jody Hedlund that I'm going to love it, but love may not be a strong enough word for this book.  This was astounding writing and storytelling at its finest.  I have to say I was a little worried when I found out this book was going to include time travel because I wasn't sure how Jody Hedlund could pull it off.  I mean, its pretty different from her normal writing, but let me tell you, she does it and she does it with her normal elegant writing style that I absolutely love. A matter of fact, I felt like I was traveling back in time write along with them. 

I will warn you, you're going to want to clear your schedule because you won't want to stop reading.  This has been the best of my summer reading to date.

From the Back Cover:

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 in to a coma after drinking a vial of holy water believed to contain traces of residue from the Tree of Life, Marian must questions all of her assumptions.  He's left behind tantalizing clues that suggest he's crossed back in time.  Insane.  Until Marian test 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 protections...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?

This is the first book in the Waters of Time series and I can't wait to read the rest of the books as they become available.

Thanks to Revell Reads for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
