These are two of Karen White's early books. both are really good reads. The Original Titles are The Shadow of the Moon and Whispers of Goodbye.
Both are Historical Fiction and set during and after the Civil War.

Ugh. I had a really hard time with this book. I couldn't get through the second book so my review is for the first one, In the Shadow of the Moon. It's a poor imitation of Outlander. Woman accidentally travels in time, into the past during a war, ends up staying with a family, and falls in love with the wounded war hero. She's accused of being a spy, needs to get back home, blah blah blah. The war is the Civil War and the soldier is a Confederate soldier. The worst part of all this is, the main character, a modern day woman, actually defends slavery! I was disgusted. And I've noticed that Karen White has this tendency to stereotype the characters in her books. All the southerners are hardworking, passionate people of integrity while the northerners are cold, ruthless, and heartless. I can't even count the number of times I rolled my eyes. The worst part of the book was (SPOILER AHEAD!) that when the main character found her missing daughter, the one who had disappeared through time, she not only didn't recognize her, she decided to leave her behind! No sane person would do that. Definitely skip this one.
*I received this in a Library Thing giveaway.
I really enjoyed this! And it's two stories in one! The first a romantic time travel story and the second a mystery. I love anything to do with time travel, so I was excited to start and I wasn't disappointed. And as I listened to this on audio the narrator did an amazing job! There are some that will lull you to sleep with their monotone voices, but hers was captivating and so so good.
