Dream
Weaver
By S.A. Martin (Shirley
Martin)
In Shirley
Martin’s Dream Weaver, troubling dreams of the past
haunts high school history teacher Gwen Emrys. Night after night
she sees a Colonial log cabin go up in flames, a young man dressed
as an American colonist, and visions of wounded soldiers on bloody
battlefields.
When she sees
a travel pamphlet with the exact restored village, she is compelled
to see it with her eyes wide open. While on tour of the village,
she faints and awakens at the cabin in 1762 during the middle of
Smallpox epidemics, Indian wars, and British and French intrigue.
The first person
she meets is handsome doctor, Christian Norgard, the cabin’s
owner and the man from her dreams. To her dismay, he doesn’t
believe that she’s a time traveler from the year 2003. Then
to her horror, she overhears that he believes her to be a French
spy and that French spies are hanged, drawn, quartered, or burned
at the stake.
Still
romance blooms and is interwoven deftly with Colonial Pennsylvania
history, magically transporting the reader back in time with Gwen
and Christian.
The story
also revisits Rebecca and Daniel Chamberlain from High Wind
Rising, Ms. Martin’s first historical novel. No worries,
this book stands completely alone and provides a highly emotionally
satisfying read.
An excellent
story teller, Ms. Martin spins you into her tightly woven web of
romance. A lover of the Colonial period, she makes it jump alive
with vibrant emotion and detail. Take my word, this is a story you
won’t want to put down from start to finish.
