I should know not to pick up a book late in the evening but I had been petting BETHANY'S SONG by Susan Plunkett all weekend. I read the first chapter and here I sit at 8:30AM after a sleepless night of reading.

BETHANY'S SONG is the second book in what seems to be a trilogy about sisters that time travel throught the River of Time but Bethany's story was published in November 2001 and the youngest sister doesn't have a book yet. I've added ALICIA'S SONG to my "find ASAP" list! :)

Bethany and her sisters all sing in cemeteries, especially for people that don't have anyone at their funeral. As Bethany and her sisters turn to leave after singing one foggy evening, they are swept away in the River of Time. Bethany lands in another cemetery with a knot on her head in Juneau Alaska in the year 1895.

As Matthew Gray and four men bury Matthew's father they hear a moaning sound coming from behind a stone angel grave marker. Curled in a ball lays a hurt woman. Matthew is still grieving the lost of his beloved wife and son two years ago to childbirth. He isn't ready to move on but Bethany has a way of melting his cold heart.

There is a mystery of where all the money has gone from Matthew's father's gold mine. And lots sexual tension between Matthew and Bethany as they both try to stay away from each other. It is wonderfully emotional.

BETHANY's SONG Rated A+
