A Time Travel That Has It All.

Laura Truitt knew, as soon as she stood on the sidewalk of the old house, that this was her house. And it was right that her daughter Anne be born in this house. After suffering the disappearance of Anne on Moon Mountain while comet watching and then the subsequent death of her husband Jack, Laura finds that the house doesn't hold the same warm feeling that it had before. In an act of desperation, she returns to Moon Mountain in hopes of finding some clues as to the whereabouts of her daughter. While watching the comet pass over the mountain, Laura is overcome with a dizzy spell and wakes up in the 19th century! Is this what happened to her daughter? Did her baby, somehow, get transported back in time? Major Stuart Elliott was on medical leave from the Confederate Army and helping his small nephew hunt for game for dinner. The last thing he expected to find in the woods surrounding Roswell, Georgia, in the middle of the Civil War was a confused, young woman running around in men's clothing looking for her baby! And as confused as she was, even more confusing was the fact that Stuart felt like he had met her before. That she was meant to be there. In Roswell, in this time period, for him. This time-travel romance has everything a reader could want--a wonderful storyline, fantasy time-travel, a dashing hero, a strong (but confused) heroine, hot romance, and an ending that leaves you crying for more! Karen White has outdone herself on this effort, and all I can say is, when is the sequel?

If this is a first book, look out world...

Karen White has written an engrossing love story that spans time and will keep you turning the pages. If you like romance, time travel, and Civil War settings, you're going to love this book. There's just the right touch of historical and geographic detail to make this story real. It's clear the author has done her homework. If practice makes perfect, I can't wait to see what books Karen White will gift us with in the future.

A Stunning First Book!

Laura has the perfect life. She and her husband have bought her dream house and are about to have a baby. There's nothing else she can ever want. But when her daughter Annie is two, she disappears. Then her husband dies. Laura is heart broken and alone the night she goes back to the mountain where her daughter disappeared. And there on the mountain, Laura is pulled into another time--a time that may contain her missing daughter. As she searches for Annie, Laura also finds her heart--it's held by a Confederate soldier. But is Stuart strong enough to accept Laura's past lies in the future, or that in order to save the daughter she loves she may have to betray him?In the Shadow of the Moon is a stunning romance that spans from the '90's to the Civil War, from a war that tore apart a nation, to love that transcends time. First time author, Karen white, carries the reader on a mystical journey--a journey that will touch even the hardest of hearts and convince them that nothing can stand between true love, not even time itself.

Fans of Diana Gabaldon rejoice!!!

Readers who are fans of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, should love this book by new author Karen White. A time-travel set in present day and Civil War era Georgia, it's written in first person, with a dose of history, and in an era where there were brothers fighting brothers (much like the Jacobite rebellion which was at the forefront of Gabaldon's series much of which is set in Scotland). Strong writing, compelling plot, all combine in this emotional story. This is a terrific book from beginning to end! Very highly recommended.
