Her best friend, Lee Ann, took her out for an evening of dancing. Sarah knows she needs to return home, as she has been staying with her friend. Well, it was just a one-time thing. He wouldn't bother her again--or would he? The police must have locked him up--or did they? She needed to get back to her job. Out for the evening, she meets Josh.

Can there love to test the time, can she interfere with the past? Can she have a future with a secret that she has hidden in her heart? Janet Quinn has written an interesting novel of time travel and takes the readers back to the old west and frontier times. The story line is quite enjoyable. This was a book that was hard to put down.

Sarah Martin remains jumpy after being assaulted with fists and a knife by a lunatic named Jack. Her best friend LeeAnn takes her to a singles bar where she meets a seemingly nice fellow Josh. However, Jack arrives, grabs Sarah and tries to kill her for the second time. Sarah presses charges, with plenty of witnesses able to testify. That night, Jack makes bail and is released. Sarah flees Los Angeles heading to her great-grandmother's home in Wyoming. Sarah arrives in Moose Creek where she enters a church and stares at a stained glass window. The next Sarah knows is she has awakened in 1870 where she meets Joshua Campbell, who insists she is his mail order bride. Sarah meets her ancestors, who like everyone else cannot understand Sarah's ways. However, that does not stop Joshua from falling in love with her. She reciprocates his feelings, but rejects his consistent marriage proposals because her time is one-hundred thirty years in the future. YESTERYEAR'S LOVE is an interesting time travel romance that takes a modern person back to the wild west. The opening chapter in LA adds nothing to the tale. However, once Sarah lands in the nineteenth century, the story line turns enjoyable. Most charming is Sarah's actions and words causing much consternation among the Moose Creek residents. However, Sarah's own reactions seem off-kilter for someone who showed six years of interest in the era starting with her great grandmother's diary. Still Janet Quinn paints a warm tale that leaves readers thoroughly entertained.Harriet Klausner
