The History Mystery Trilogy

An old house + A new computer program = The travel opportunity of a lifetime…to another century.
Time and Again (book 1)
Abby Thomas is spending the summer in a run-down old house with a bratty pre-teen named Merrideth she is supposed to tutor. It's not her idea of a dream job, but it does come with perks.
There's John Roberts, a devastatingly attractive neighbor who is almost too wonderful to be real. And then there are the virtual trips to the 19th century she gets to take via Beautiful Houses—a computer program also too amazing to be real! With it they rewind time to see all the people who ever lived in the house.
In 1858, Charlotte Miles lives there and the house is a train stop on the Alton & Chicago Line. She takes up the cause of abolition and turns the house into a station on the Underground Railroad after hearing Abraham Lincoln pour out his heart at the debate that will catapult him onto the national stage and lead to his presidency during the dark days of the Civil War.
Unclaimed Legacy (book 2)
Abby's 11-year-old student Merri is finally warming up to her. And her friendship with John Roberts is also heating up. He's definitely marriage material. Except he thinks she's crazy. Because a computer program that allows you to rewind and fast-forward the lives of people from long ago is surely pure fantasy. But then John sees for himself that it's not.
Together they use the program to help the "Old Dears" next door with their family tree. Rummaging around in their history, they discover that the 85-year-old twins have been keeping a secret from each other since 1941. And the ladies' Buchanan ancestors have a few secrets of their own, too.
Reuben Buchanan is a blight on the Old Dears' family name. But was he really guilty of arson? Abby and John must get inside the mind of a murderer to find out.
But there are also heroes in the ladies' family tree. In 1803 Nathan Buchannan's log cabin sat just outside Lewis and Clark's camp where he and the other explorers spent the winter gathering supplies for their cross-continental expedition.
The cabin served several functions throughout the years. But while watching its history unfold, Abby and John discover a 200-year-old treasure waiting to be reclaimed—and that God's promise to bless a thousand generations really is true.
Every Hill and Mountain (book 3)
Since the Beautiful Houses software worked so well for the Old Dears' family tree project, Abby's friend Kate hopes the computer program will help her find out more about her ancestor Ned Greenfield.
Abby and John reluctantly agree to help her, and they take a trip to the tiny town of Equality, Illinois, where, according to Kate's research, Ned Greenfield was born at a place called Hickory Hill. The townspeople of Equality are unhelpful, but eventually they find Hickory Hill on their own.
Built in 1834, the mansion stands sentinel over Half Moon Salt Mine where the original owner John Granger accumulated his blood-tainted fortune with the use of slave labor in the free state of Illinois—the Land of Lincoln.
The shocking discovery on the third floor concerning Kate's ancestor Ned Greenfield is almost too much to bear. But Abby and her friends are reminded that God is in the business of redemption—that one day he'll make all things new.
