This is book 3 of the Yorktown Christmas Time Novella series, Christian Historical Read. This is the story of Rita and she travels back into time of the 1769 era of Virginia. She goes back to save the children but finds more.... when she meets Dr. Josh Jones. When Rita and Josh meet they are not really fond of each other, however, time will tell. Will they find more than friendship is here? What part does the children play? Will Rita go back to the year she lives in or stay in 1769 time?
I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoy time travel, humor and history. It is a very short read, but as the other ones in the series, keeps you turning the pages. I really love this series as it has humor of the different conveniences we have now and how the past doesn't understand..... you can read as a stand alone.

Dr. Rita Woods thought she was going back in time to save the children. She didn’t count on falling in love.
Rita Woods—retired physician, widow, with a granddaughter about to be married—misses her patients. She’s tired of knitting. She wants to do something that makes a difference again. When Max Ballard and his time-traveling conservatory pop in to her life, the voice of Dr. Josiah Jones’ diary calls. The voice who’d inspired her vocation. The last line of the diary haunts her quiet moments:
“…the children succumbed in the night…”
In 1769 Dr. Josiah Jones has a good life. His practice is thriving and, except for the the guilt he carries over the death of his wife, life couldn’t be any better. His biggest worry is the zealous match-making activities of his best friend…that is until a hurricane throws an unexpected guest on his doorstep.
Can Josiah trust a woman from the twenty-first century to save the only grandchildren he’ll ever have?
Is it possible for two people living 250 years apart to have a second chance at love?

More from Izzy
After I finished Garrett, who worked really hard to hide his contemporary origins when he slipped back to 1769, I thought it would be fun to have someone actually take some technology back to 1769. I also felt bad for Olivia’s grandmother who makes her first appearance in Max. She is a retired physician knitting away and helping out Olivia and Garrett as she can. I thought it was time she had an adventure of her own. And since I love historic areas, and Yorktown has become one of my favorite places, I knew I had to go back at least one more time.
