Embers of Time

by Eugenia Riley

A Romance of Old Charleston Children lost in time ... In the aftermath of the second great war, two lonely people were destined to meet in the splendor of Charleston, South Carolina. He was a handsome RAF pilot whose soul had been tortured by battle; she was a beautiful young Army nurse whose spirit had glimpsed great suffering. Each had known devastating loss: the death of a beloved child in a recent, tragic fire. A love forged by earthquake and fire ... But were the children really lost? Even as Adrian and Vickie met and began to forge a deep bond, both were haunted by poignant glimpses of the children's ghosts in the Charleston streets, visions that soon led the couple back to search for the children in an earlier time. There, as a bittersweet love blossomed between the couple, they discovered a city as grand and mysterious as time itself, and a miracle that would heal their wounded hearts.
