The Avid Reader would like to know...
What event in time would you like to visit?

I don't know of a specific event that I'd like to visit as much as just going back in time and living in the late-1800s. I'd love to be immersed in that time period; buying a plot of land, building a house, raising livestock, both to use for food and as labor, growing my own food in a garden, and most importantly, not living by the clock. Though I know that it would be hard work, both physically and mentally, especially without the modern conveniences that we've all grown accustomed to, there is something very appealing to me about working, and playing, on your own time. Doing a chore or project until it's done, and then moving on to the next one. Not having to worry about rushing here or there, to this appointment or that; rather letting the weather or the month dictate how your day will be.

I also love the idea of belonging to a community where it doesn't matter where you went to school, who your parents or grandparents are, or what you do for a living. I know, there was snobbery and disdain even back then, (Agnes Rothschild from my books, for instance) but when it came down to it, people were there for each other, blood relations or not.

And I do think that it would be exciting to have seen such things as the introduction of the railroad to the West, the invention of electric light bulb, blue jeans, and Coca-Cola. So many things that we take for granted today. It was such a time of discovery, one which I would've loved to be a part of.

Title: The Land Uncharted

Author: Keely Brooke Keith

Release Date: October 21, 2014

Publisher: Edenbrooke Press

Summary:

Lydia Colburn is a young physician dedicated to serving her village in the Land. Day and night, she rushes by horseback to treat the ill and injured, establishing a heroic reputation as the village's new doctor.

Naval Aviator Connor Bradshaw is flying over the South Atlantic Ocean on a mission to secure any remaining sources of fresh water in a 2025 world torn apart by war. A malfunction activates his aircraft's ejection system, parachuting his unconscious body to the shore of a hidden land.

Lydia risks her safety to help the injured outsider despite the shock of his mysterious arrival and the disastrous implications his presence could have for her peaceful society, which has gone undetected for seven generations.

Connor searches for a way to return to his squadron, but his fascination with life in the Land makes him protective of Lydia and her peaceful homeland. And while Lydia's attraction to Connor stirs desires she never anticipated, it also pushes an unwanted admirer to stage a dangerous attempt to win her affection.

As Connor tries to keep the Land off the radar, he learns the biggest threat to Lydia lurks in her village. But when Lydia's greatest passion and darkest fear collide, will she look to the past or the future to find the strength to survive?
