| Publisher Description: Scraps of Time, volume 2: Back in Thyme Sam and Nathan have returned safely from their journey back in time to Sherwood Forest, thanks to Sam's gift for time traveling. But Sam wants to continue learning about herbal healing, which she had begun with Lady Marion. She finds a tutor and kindred spirit in Angie Foster. As Angie shows Sam through her workrooms, Sam discovers a mortar, or grinding bowl for herbs, with the initials MF scratched into the bottom. Sam had last seen this mortar in Marion's pantry back in Sherwood Forest. Somehow Angie's grandmother has inherited Lady Marion's mortar. How? Sam and Angie travel back together to answer this question. The mortar has been handed down by generations of Angie's ancestors. Following its path back in time takes Sam and Angie to Chicago during the Great Influenza Epidemic of 1918, then further back to a Russian peasant village during the Crimean War. When the search seems at a dead end, Sam gets help from an unexpected source. Sam learns more about her time traveling gift - how to focus and control it better. But questions still haunt her: Why was she given this power? What is she intended to do with it? |
