"Will the power of their love will be strong enough to return them to their own time?"
For long-time married couple, Dawn and Travis Nightingale,
life has interfered with their love and in response they've
decided on a divorce. Before they can announce this to
their nearly grown children, the kids strand them on the
family owned Florida Everglades island with the hope they
will resolve their differences and get back together. That
alone might have worked, as by that afternoon Dawn and
Travis make love in the ruins of what seems to be a long
forgotten temple on the island. But as they complete their
lovemaking, the stones around them come to life and the
pair is thrown thousands of years into the past,
substituting for a set of star-crossed lovers, Weohi and
Muraco. Once in the past, Dawn and Travis are mistaken for the
lovers, and so must contend with Weohi and Muraco's
problems as well as trying to resolve their own
differences. Of course the real issue is whether the power
of their love will be strong enough to return them to their
own time. There are serious moments in the book and
amusing ones as well. For one thing, their son used popular
song titles in his note to his parents and to carry the
theme along, similar titles are used as the chapter
headings. Set predominantly in the distant past of a lost Toltec and
Florida Indian society, THE POWER OF LOVE is a well-written
time-travel love story -- a story of a couple rediscovering
both the past and their own love for each other. I do
recommend it. Janet Miller © Copyright 2002
