A 200-year-old treasure waiting to be reclaimed.

Abby Thomas' 11-year-old student Merri is finally warming up to her. And her friendship with John Roberts is also heating up. He's definitely marriage material. Except for the fact that when she tells him about Beautiful Houses he thinks she's crazy.

Because a computer program that allows you to rewind and fast-forward the lives of people from long ago is surely pure fantasy. But then John sees for himself that it's not.

Together they use Beautiful Houses to help the "Old...

Their discovery on the third floor of Hickory Hill is almost too much to bear.

Since the Beautiful Houses computer software worked so well for the Old Dears' family tree project, Abby's college roommate Kate hopes the computer program will help her find out more about her ancestor Ned Greenfield.

Abby and John reluctantly agree to help Kate, but only on the condition that she and her fiance Ryan promise to keep the program a secret, because if the government ever discovered they possessed a computer program that allows you to rewind...

An old house + A new computer program = The travel opportunity of a lifetime...to another century.

Abby Thomas is spending the summer in a run-down old house with a bratty pre-teen named Merrideth she is supposed to tutor. It's not her idea of a dream job, but it does come with perks.

There's John Roberts, a devastatingly attractive neighbor who is almost too wonderful to be real.

And then there's the virtual trip to the 19th century she gets to take via a strange computer program called Beautiful...

Professor Merrideth Randall has a tool that other historians can only dream of-computer software that virtually rewinds time

It comes in handy for historical research and for her sideline genealogy business. When her colleague physics professor Brett Garrison asks for help with his family tree she can't resist, even though he's far too attractive for her peace of mind. And amazingly, he seems to be pursuing her, despite the fact that everyone knows dating a co-worker is career suicide.

Using her software, Merrideth gets a...

Note to self: Do NOT fall in love with Matthias Frailey-he's been dead for over 175 years

Professor Merrideth Randall's latest after-hours research project takes her and friends Abby and John to a small southern Illinois town, where with the help of her time-rewinding software they become virtual eyewitnesses to the arrival of the Cherokee via the Golconda Ferry on December 3, 1838.

They cannot tear their eyes away from the unfolding tragedy-nor from Matthias Frailey's heroic response to it. The people are herded down Main Street...

Note to Self: File under interesting job perks-Trevor Dalton, best dating lead in a while. He's a lot like Brett, only not off limits.

Professor Merrideth Randall has an insatiable curiosity about the past. But unlike other historians, she has the means to satisfy it-an amazing computer program that lets her rewind the lives of people from long ago. So when the topic of Ohio River pirates piques her interest, she packs up her laptop and goes to Cave-in-Rock, Illinois.

There pirates preyed on the thousands of settlers coming...

Note to Self: You can't afford your dream house, even if is the absolute best one you'll ever find. And stop dreaming about Brett, too. Remember, he's just a friend.

In Lebanon, Illinois the annual Victorian Holiday Festival kicks off a month of celebrating Christmas-and Charles Dickens. He's the town's claim to fame ever since he stayed at the Mermaid Inn during his 1842 tour of America. But judging from the snarky comments Dickens wrote in his travelogue, he was certainly not a fan of Lebanon.

Professor Merrideth Randall gets...

The delightfully satisfying conclusion to the Rewinding Time Series.

Remodeling Professor Merrideth Randall's dream house is turning into a bigger project than she and Brett imagined. Even so, they take time out when Merri's father pleads for her to visit him in prison. When she boldly shares her new faith to the inmates and guards Brett proposes to her on the spot.

Now, if only they can get the house finished it will be perfect for the wedding. The work would go faster if there weren't constant interruptions by people...

When Julia passes through the small town of Coldwater, driving her screeching pickup with her mother-in-law and everything she owns in the RV they're towing, all she wants is to get Helen settled on what's left of the family farm and hurry back to civilization.

Julia's still mourning her husband, and so romance is the last thing on her mind. But whenever Neil Ashe shows up, the attraction between them flares-even though his divorce has left him leery of city...
