Traveling home for Christmas, two young women are forced to drive together during a snowstorm, and they get lost. They cross a covered bridge and, suddenly, they enter the past, finding themselves in a small picturesque Vermont town in 1943. They meet two handsome soldiers, who are about to be sent off to war, and they fall in love with them, while also struggling to find a way to return home to their own time.

Great premise. What happens next?
With the soldiers’ help, on Christmas Eve, the two women finally have one chance to return to their own time, but they are caught between their love for the soldiers, and their desire to return to the present. At the last moment, they must make the difficult decision and, because it is Christmas, a miracle happens.

Ooh, we can’t wait to find out. What genre is this?
Time Travel Romance / General Fiction

What demographic is it aimed at?
Mostly women readers of all ages.

If you like time travel books, with adventure and romance, you’ll love my book.
