Rubies and Other Gems - the Novel. Women's fiction with a time-travel twist.
With a husband who dismisses her and children who ignore her, it's little wonder that Lily seeks comfort in sleep. But when her dream lover involves a man who lived and died years before she was born, she realizes her marriage may not survive her unintentional infidelity.
Transported through time by her grandmother's rubies, Lily is entranced by the simpler nature of times gone by and can't resist going back again, but only after imposing strict rules of conduct on herself.
When a miscalculation keeps her away longer than planned, she's confronted by an angry husband on her return. Aware she can't make amends and steer her children in the right direction unless she stays in the here and now, Lily vows to leave the past to the past.
But in her attempt to take away the jewelry's power, she inadvertently sends herself back without her return ticket, the rubies. Now, she fears she may not even have a family if and when she returns from the past.
Thanks for reading and I hope you'll check it out.
