"Fun Time Travel"
In 1889 Black Mesa, Colorado, Sam Evans knows it is
time to leave the ranch to his brother and move on because
the woman he loves married someone else. Though it hurts,
he knows that Kurt and Olivia belong together even if the
former swears he comes from another century. Still, before
fleeing the area, Sam feels obligated to help Kurt in this
showdown with the Durant crowd. However, something strange occurs and the next thing
Sam knows is he is dodging strange wagons with lights on a
paved road and a pip-squeak deputy asking the ridiculous
question of why a loaded gun. He soon learns the
Heartbreak Hill, Montana sheriff's department has arrested
him. Single parent Taylor O'Brien has a reelection campaign
to run if she wants to remain the sheriff. She does not
need some weird stranger claiming he is from 1899 to mess
up her life even if she finds him stirring her blood. He
finds her just as attractive. However, both know love
hurts and fear his return to his time, making a permanent
relationship seems not destined to happen. One of the best at the time travel romance, Sherry
Lewis brings back a secondary character from her popular
WHISPERS THROUGH TIME novel to star in this tale. Sam is a
warm wonderful hero with a strong sense of honor while
Taylor shares his qualities as she places duty ahead of
reelection (perhaps many of our Congress could learn that
lesson). The story line is fun though Sam adjusts too
easily to the more advance technological culture. Still
the audience will feel elated that he gains the woman this
time. Harriet Klausner
