Though only twenty-eight years old, Stephanie Sergant has been a widow for over five years due to her beloved spouse being killed during Desert Storm. When she inherits, along with her sister, their great Aunt Magnolia's Natchez mansion, Stephanie returns to her hometown to live in the old house. However, instead of having restful evenings, Stephanie is the only person who seems to be haunted by a gaggle of ghosts that include her aunt and the Goddard brood. Stephanie promises to fix everything when she travels back in time. When Stephanie next wakes up, she is sharing the house with widow Andre Goddard, his five little children, and their housekeeper. The year is 1878. Stephanie feels that she was returned in time to help the shy housekeeper and the handsome widower fall in love and live happily ever after. However, Cupid's arrow strikes Stephanie who falls in love with Andre and his children. The Goddard family reciprocate the emotion. Though love is shared, Stephanie fears that she is not long for the nineteenth century and, therefore, cannot commit to anything resembling a lifetime. WALTZ IN TIME is a fun to read time travel romance due to the relationship between the female protagonist and the entire Goddard clan, including the housekeeper. Readers will empathize with all the characters (except for one particularly nasty mother) and dance to a well written story line. Eugenia Riley makes traveling in time pure ecstasy. Harriet Klausner
