This story made me tear up a few times. it was sweet and loving and I couldnt put it down. It is about an actress named Clara McCallum who finds out she has breast cancer. While working on her latest movie, that is based on a true story about an American Soldier. While on the set she boards a train. However, when she gets off the train she is no longer on a movie set, but in the actual town in the 1940. I would reccommend this book to everyone.

I entered Time Travel as a criteria in a book search and found If Only In My Dreams. I had never read anything by Wendy Markham - but I took a chance. I have to say that I REALLy enjoyed this book. It was sweet & heartwarming... Its a quick, easy read and has a December/Christmas theme which I love reading at this time of year.

I read this book after seeing it listed on Paperback Swap. I went to the library and ordered it. (I was in too much of a hurry to wait) I so very thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love time travel/romance and this was definately worth it. As movie critics say 'two thumbs up'!
Different from Markham's other books, but a good read.
