What if you could live one day over again - and change the outcome?

Suddenly, unbelievably, Mary Ellen O'Rourke could - and so her wonderful husband and beautiful baby girl were alive and well. Now all she had to do was keep them that way. If only she knew how... But maybe she did. Because a strange encounter with an unusual ring had brought Mary into this parallel world, one in which Daniel and Hope - and she - were the family she'd always dreamed of being. Because it seemed that this time, she had acted differently on that fateful day. So was this new life a dream? Mary didn't care. She'd spent six years praying for a second change - and she wasn't going to waste a single minute of it!

Destined to be a classic

Mary Ellen O'Rourke is just waiting to die. Six years ago, she lost everything when her husband and baby were killed in a freak car accident just feet away from her. Since then, she's existed in a vacuum, cut off from life. That all changes on the anniversary of the crash when Mary Ellen finds an unusual ring inside an antique store. The moment she puts it on, Mary Ellen is stricken with a wave of dizziness and suddenly finds herself in her worst nightmare. It is just moments before the accident and once again, like so many thousands of time before in her dreams, Mary Ellen will be forced to watch her family die. This time, however, something inside Mary Ellen snaps and she catapults herself onto the car, saving Daniel and Hope. Finding herself with a new beginning, Hope now wonders if this is a yet another dream or perhaps a miraculous gift. However, even as Hope revels in the joy of her reunited family, a new evil is waiting nearby. Will Hope be strong enough to withstand the coming storm? Almost unbearable in its poignancy, Sharon Sala's THE WAY TO YESTERDAY is destined to become a classic in series category romance. Those of us who often ponder the eternal question, "What if?" will be swept along with Mary Ellen in this magical tale. Unabashedly emotional, quixotically written, Ms. Sala once again displays her awesome talent by stretching and redefining the parameters of series romance. The Schemer

Turning Back the Hands of Time

In a tragic series of events six years ago, Mary Faith O'Rourke lost her husband Daniel and her baby daughter Hope. For six long years, Mary has tried to pick up the shattered pieces of her life and continue on. But the days are hollow, the hours empty, and the minutes drag by. She's dying by inches but unable to let go completely. Then one day, Mary wanders into a small antique shop, Time After Time, on a street that she hadn't even known existed. Browsing the shelves inside the shop, Mary finds a small ring that catches her eye. Inscribed on the inside of the band are the words: I PROMISE YOU FOREVER. The words sear into Mary's soul, touching pain she at best only had partially buried. Mary tries the ring on but finds it gets stuck. In the next instant she passes out and comes to on that fateful day when she lost her husband and child. The scene is a recurring nightmare that haunts her nights, stealing sleep. Reluctantly, she goes along with it. After all, the nightmare at least offers her the chance of seeing her lost husband and daughter again. Stunned and hurting, she participates in the tragic events that should be the last minutes of the lives of the two people she most loved in the world. Only this time when Daniel backs the car out of the drive and is headed into the path of a car speeding from a pursuing police cruiser, Mary cries out to Daniel and manages to get him to stop just in time. The crash occurs as it did on that day six years ago, but this time her husband and daughter are not consumed in it. Time has changed. In a twinkling, Mary is back in the present, but it is a present that holds her husband and daughter in it as well. However, the change in time that prevented young Hope's death has also put her into a madman's path. Perhaps Mary changed the past once, but the present that she has stepped into may yet steal her daughter away unless she can figure out the secrets of a serial kidnapper.Sharon Sala is an award-winning author with dozens of books to her credit. She writes primarily romantic suspense, but every book is from the heart. Other romantic suspense novels in a similar vein include DARK WATER, SNOWFALL, REMEMBER ME, SWEET BABY, and REUNION. She also writes romantic suspense under the name Dinah McCall, with titles such as WHITE MOUNTAIN, STORM WARNING, THE RETURN, JACKSON RULE, and CHASE THE MOON.Opening the covers of a Sharon Sala or Dinah McCall novel guarantees a quick, exciting read. No one handles plot, characterization, and dialogue with a surer hand. The pacing of the books always stops somewhere just short of frantic, but will keep the reader glued to the pages till the end. THE WAY TO YESTERDAY proceeds so quickly and with enough twists and turns that the reader will probably read the book all the way through or within a couple sessions. The fantastical element of the story is quickly introduced (somewhat reminiscent of SOMEWHERE IN TIME and A PORTRAIT OF JENNY), but is gentle rat
