The year is 1862.

Prospectors swarm over the Sierra Nevada, hunting for gold, desperadoes roam the range, and the Indians are on the warpath.

Dr. Henry Lockhart is so busy setting broken bones that he hasn't any time for women. Just as well. There's hardly a woman worth thinking about in the entire Nevada Territory.

Then Erica James appears out of nowhere. Erica is... different. She wears running shoes, totes around a contraption she calls a "video camera" and says she's from the future. From 1989, to be exact....

This is a book I picked up at a thrift store and am so glad that I did. I really enjoyed this book.

Erica James a professor in Boston lands in 1862 Nevada! She went to a mine for information because she was going to film a documentary about the biggest gold rush to hit the area. She winds up leaving the tour and sneaking off to an abandoned part of the mine, a tremor occurs which jolts her back to the past. When she wakes up she is in Dr. Henry Lockharts house and hilarity ensues. Henry thinks she is crazy because she believes she is from the future and she thinks he is an actor hired at the tourist town she was headed to. She is in the place she was headed but in the past. They finally convince each other that they are both telling the truth. They start falling for each other but will her quest to return to the future doom their budding romance. Henry's son, Billy has tuburculosis and will eventually die as the cure is not found until many years in the future. Will Erica take Henry and Billy with her into the future? Will she find a way to return to the future? You will have to read this book to find out.
