Kelly Brennan believes no one is for her ever since her beloved Michael died. Unable to really cope with his death, Kelly became fanatical about her small travel agency throwing all her emotions and time into making it a success. At a wedding party, Kelly suddenly finds herself plunged back one century.
Initially Kelly thinks that somehow she just became lost when she strolled into the nearby woods. However, she soon realizes this is not her New Orleans any longer. Widower Daniel Gilmore looks just like Kelly's Michael. He thinks she is a bit daft, but also worries that his daughter believes she is a fairy because of Kelly's green bridesmaid dress. To her surprise, Kelly feels comfortable in her new century though she misses some modern conveniences. She must now persuade Daniel that they belong together but to reach him Kelly must help him heal his emotional scars.
As expected by one of the leading authors of time travel romance, Constance O'Day-Flannery has written a powerful tale that provides fans with much pleasure. The story line is fast-paced once Kelly goes back in time. Daniel is a hunk of a leading man who will garner audience empathy. His daughter steals the show at times with her naive pronouncements. Though the mechanism for trip back is not really explained, TIME AFTER TIME Ms O'Day- Flannery successfully entertains the sub-genre reader.
