An excellent first novel, Ms. Ricksen spins us into a world filled with emotion. Ryan's acceptance of her time travel story was a new twist that eliminated a lot of 'who are you really' angst, a good thing. The author gave us conflict in spades, from a deceased wife, a special needs child, abusive grandparents and even an unexpected surprise. Absolutely wonderful! I look forward to reading Ms. Ricksen's work in the future. Oh, and what happened to Lacy? I'll be waiting to find out.
