Synopsis

Gwyneth Shepherd’s sophisticated, beautiful cousin Charlotte has been prepared her entire life for traveling through time. But unexpectedly, it is Gwyneth, who in the middle of class takes a sudden spin to a different era!
Gwyneth must now unearth the mystery of why her mother would lie about her birth date to ward off suspicion about her ability, brush up on her history, and work with Gideon–the time traveler from a similarly gifted family that passes the gene through its male line, and whose presence becomes, in time, less insufferable and more essential. Together, Gwyneth and Gideon journey through time to discover who, in the 18th century and in contemporary London, they can trust.

November 2015 in Review

Posted November 30, 2015 in Reading / 8 Comments

Is November really over! It seems like this month has gone by so very fast for me. It is crazy!

Things that Happened in November

So much has happened it is hard to get it all in words. One of the students at my school suffered a stroke and is hospitalized for now. A counselor at the district high school died from an unexpected heart attack. My grandmother has been hospitalized yet again. It really hasn’t been a great month.
My religious education class (4th grade) was enrolled in the Association of the Miraculous Medal. They are all so excited to have miraculous medals.

{F56} Emerald Green

Posted November 13, 2015 in Reading / 14 Comments

Emerald Green is the third and final book in the Ruby Red trilogy by Kerstin Gier. This entire series was originally written in German and translated into English. I found this series while perusing the shelves of the library and I am so glad I did. It is such an interesting time travel series.

From Emerald Green by Kerstin Gier: (page 56)

He looked, if possible, even more remorseful.
“I promise you nothing like that will ever happen again.”
