No matter what you think about time travel, or so many other unexplained phenomena, readers are always intrigued by irrational things that could happen--like human loving vampires, or helpful ghosts, or people slipping from one time frame into another.

Organized religion asks you to do that on a regular basis by requesting you to believe in an unproven god. I don't want to offend religious believers here, but I would ask that if you can believe in an unmet God, why can't you believe that other unidentified phenonoma can occur?

Gods were created by humans because of the things they did not understand in ancient times--lightning, changes in climate, natural catastrophes like earthquakes and floods, droughts and famines. And for thousands of years they had no knowledge to explain these natural phenomena.

This book is an attempt at saying that the conceived impossible MIGHT be possible.

Christopher Dunlap, the ninth Earl of Westerham is a very wealthy and respected member of polite society in 1812 Regency, England. He has a town house in London but his love for the land allows him to spend much of his time seeing to his country estate. One night he is riding his horse from London to his country estate when he simply appears in a car in 1981 Eastport, Connecticut.

Jessica Lund is shocked and very afraid when the handsome man in Regency clothes suddenly appears in her car. It takes her awhile to believe he is a Regency traveler who has journeyed through time. Once she comes to accept he's not crazy, she takes him into her house and eases him into the ways of the twentieth century. They fall in love and give into their passion but in the back of their minds they are always wondering if Christopher will be returned to his own time.

This reviewer read LOVE ONCE IN PASSING when it first came out and thought it was a beautiful love story twenty-one years ago and after rereading Jo Ann Simon's time travel today the novel remains a fantastic reading experience. The characters are timeless and somehow believable and the reader hopes they get the happily ever after they so desperately want. To find out the answers to that question, the audience will want to read LOVE ONCE AGAIN coming next month.

Like a lot of others I read this book a long time ago and lent my copy to a friend. My friend lost it so I never got it back. I have been searching for a copy of it since and have had no luck. It is my absolutely favorite book and would love to find a copy. I fell in love with the characters and I cried at the ending,.it was the most touching book I ever read

This is a truly lovely book: beautifully produced in paper-back with quality materials (so a joy to handle), interesting and insightful commentaries written in styles that aren't bound up by artistic jargon, and a wonderful, comprehensive collection of images in colour, put in meaningful order. I highly recommend it.

A must read to find out what happens to Jessica and Christopher.
One moment she was standing in her bedroom of her twentieth century Connecticut home and the next minute, Jessica and her son are in a cold strange room, she was swept back in time to the year 1812. I could not put this book down.

No, not "The Matrix" Hollywood brought us, but the cultural matrix: where traditional logic and abstract thought have a tendency to breakdown. Life is like that. As James would remind us, this is not a "block universe" (what non-philosopher/non-scientist ever thought it was?) and so our ideas often end up bursting under the pressure of more and more experience. How is logic to cope with this? Dewey is not a magician, but in this book he sets out (in rather abstruce, brier-patch prose) to give us a radical new tool kit. If you enjoy seriously thinking about thinking, this book is for you. Bring your coffee, though. Dewey's writing style is rather soporific; and weighing in at over 500 pages, this tome can even knockout the most experienced philosophical heavyweight. That said, I encourage you to shuck your gloves and take a swing!
