About the author

The daughter of a town marshal, Linda Lael Miller is a #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of more than 100 historical and contemporary novels, most of which reflect her love of the West. Raised in Northport, Washington, Linda pursued her wanderlust, living in London and Arizona and traveling the world before returning to the state of her birth to settle down on a spacious property outside Spokane.
Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher’s Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
Long a passionate Civil War buff, Linda has studied the era avidly for almost thirty years. She has read literally hundreds of books on the subject, explored numerous battlegrounds and made many visits to her favorite, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where she has witnessed re-enactments of the legendary clash between North and South. Linda explores that turbulent time in The Yankee Widow, a May 7, 2019 MIRA Books hardcover, also available in digital and audiobook formats.
Dedicated to helping others, “The First Lady of the West” personally financed fifteen years of her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which she awarded to women 25 years and older who were seeking to improve their lot in life through education. She anticipates that her next charitable endeavors will benefit four-legged critters.

Bello il passaggio tra un'epoca e l'altra!!!

I have read this book twice, I love time travel stories. So, this one with a modern day woman going back to the 1800s was very good.

[Liane Heffernan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved the first book, and the second was good too. I wish it hadn’t ended so quickly; I would have enjoyed an epilogue. It was cut too short; that’s the only thing that disappointed me.

I love time travel stories. There are two separate stories in this book but they are also linked by one of the characters. The first is about Elisabeth that goes into the past and the second is about her cousin Rue who goes into the past to find Elisabeth but ends up bringing Farley (a man from the 1800s) into the present.

There and Now (Elisabeth's story) was excellent but Here and Then (Rue's story) had me in tears.

I really don't want to say more and give away the stories.

If you like time travel, read this book. If you like romance, read this book. It most certainly is a good read.

I liked the two stories, but quite honestly, there is too much in the book that really does not have anything to do with the story. This doesn't give much room for strong character development which most of Miller's books have.

These two stories were very good and very interesting. I Love time travel! I think I liked the story about rue best though.

This is one of my favorite tales from this author. A newly divorced woman goes back to the house her aunt left in her will to her and her cousin. She finds strange happenings in the house and she is transported a century back in time where she meets a love interest and she stops a catastrophe from occuring. Then the other cousin goes on a search for the first missing cousin and also finds herself 100 years in the past with her own love interest. I've always been fascinated by time travel tales.
