Book Description

A history teacher who’s anxious for adventure gets swept off her feet—and into the past—in this award-winning “Top Pick” time travel romance (RT Book Reviews). Sarah Yates is a thirty-something Sheffield history teacher, divorced, disillusioned, and desperate for a little excitement. These days, making her dreams come true seems about as likely as climbing Everest in stilettos. Then one night the handsome and mysterious John Needler arrives at her door with an incredible story. John needs Sarah to go back in time. As it turns out, she has the untapped powers of a “stitch”—she can guide those in the past to make choices that change the future. Suddenly, Sarah is whisked into history—from the WWII Blitz to the suffragette movement to Edwardian England and the prairies of the Old American West—to make sure certain fateful couples get their happy endings. The only question is, can she ever manage to find her own? “Hitch a ride and whisk back in time with a heroine readers will relate to, feel sympathy for and then root on till the finish. . . . Readers will be on the edge of their seats . . . in this unique, romantic story.” —RT Book Reviews
