Summary: Time travel at its best
Review: From 2003 to 1963 is one step across a line. Officer Kat Templeton and her partner, James Mitchell dare to step across into a world neither of them is prepared for; a world where segregation is the rule. Kat is black and Mitch is white, In 2003 they have been a good team. In 1963 it would have been impossible for them to team up, but Kat has a personal reason for daring to step across the line into 1963, even though she hasn't the faintest idea of the kind of prejudice that awaits her. She has a relative to rescue. Ms. Banchi is a master at dialogue and characterization. Her people practically leap off the pages. This book is a thriller in more ways than one, it gives insight into the problems of integration as well as a first rate mystery to solve.

Summary: Couldn't put it down
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I brought it on a vacation and my husband and I were reading it at the same time. We were constantly fighting over who got to read the book while the other
person had to read something else.

The black-white story line is terrific. The whole idea for a time travel such as this is great. It reminded me a little of the movie frequency.

I don't want to give away the ending, however this is a book you don't want to miss if you enjoy time travel.

Summary: The Way It Was
Review: The sixties were a time of change. The author has captured that feeling. Characters are true to the time period. The book holds your interest from page one. The outcome is never certain-- until the last page.

Summary: Captivating Novel of Time Travel with a Twist
Review: This is an awesome book. Covering two different time periods with very contraversal subject matter. The way times were in 1963 with the black/white issues should have never been. Have we changed all that much in 2003? I certainly hope so. Ms. Banchi transports you through these issues in both time periods. She gets you to thinking about these matters and actually live them out along with her characters. Through the two main characters you see both sides of these issues and it causes you think think - where do you stand on these matters? This is definately a book that everyone should read and will benefit greatly from!! Great Job!
