A gripping tale weaving love, life, and alternative history into a fast-paced visit to the West Coast during the months after America's entry into World War II. An easy introduction to time travel and its complexities.
Displayed on the Staff Picks shelf at my local library. I'm glad I read it. I'll be reading more of Roger Conlee's books.
