Classmate Betty Josey Parbs sent a note that her book, Her Place In Time, is now available at Amazon.com and will soon be available in Books A Million.
Books A Million had this overview of the book's plot:
Annie Wallace is a pediatric nurse in present-day Boston unable to find true love. Instead, her dreams transport her into the late 15th century where she meets a wild, but compassionate landowner named Robert McKenna. As the intensity of Annie's dreams increase, the simple, yet harsh beauty of the past begins giving her life significance. Although Robert's time is hard and almost lawless, she discovers that it suits her; she ultimately marries Robert and becomes pregnant. However, her son develops pneumonia shortly after his birth, which prompts Annie to return to her life in Boston in search of medicine, even though she is bleeding profusely from a difficult childbirth. This arduous journey allows her to finally fulfill her surprising destiny.
