Ms. Stephans has created a wonderful heroine in Sarah. Full of moxie and determination, yet generous and kind, Sarah prepares her workers for the impending American Civil War by sewing gold coins in their undergarments and providing them with information about safe places to go. In her book, The Time Displacement Corps Book One: Sarah’s Story, Ms. Stephans provides the reader with plenty of humor and gives a delightful look into pre-Civil War history with a fresh voice. I’m still not certain what the purpose of the Time Displacement Corps is but, perhaps in the next installment, Ms. Stephans will clarify their purpose. My only disappointment was that I had hoped Sarah would send all her freed slaves into the future to escape the hardships they would most likely encounter during the war. This in no way detracted from the wonderful and surprising end. Truly a delightful tale that anyone who loves time travel and romance would thoroughly enjoy.
