A time to live. A time to die. A time to dream.

Sleep disorders specialist Kennedy Plain has been diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor. When her research subject dies after trying to convince her he has achieved dream-induced time travel and her study is shelved, she enlists herself as a subject to complete her research. But when she dreams herself into 14th-century England and falls into the hands of Fulke Wynland, a man history has condemned as a murderer, she must not only stay alive long enough to find a way to return to her own time, but prevent Fulke from murdering his young nephews. And yet, the more time she spends with the medieval warrior, the more difficult it is to believe he is capable of committing the heinous crime for which he has been reviled for 600 years.

Baron Fulke Wynland has been granted guardianship of his brother’s heirs despite suspicions that he seeks to steal their inheritance. When the king sends a mysterious woman to care for the boys, Fulke is surprised by the lady’s hostility toward him, and more surprised to learn she is to be his wife. But when his nephews are abducted, the two must overcome their mutual dislike to discover the boys’ fate. What Fulke never expects is to feel for this woman whose peculiar speech, behavior, and talk of dream travel could see her burned as a witch.

A DEVIL SINGING SMALL
by Karen Charbonneau
4.7 Out of 5 Stars (13 Reviews)
Genre: Contemporary Fiction

FREE for a limited time

What would you do if, after a dozen years of trying to be the perfect wife to an unpredictable combat veteran with a hair-trigger temper, your husband is diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic?

This family saga, spanning the years from World War II through the Vietnam War and after, recounts the unseen wounds war inflicts on two generations of an American family. With a raw authenticity stripped of self-pity and with a poet’s eye for lyrical detail, Betty recounts her wartime romance with Army Air Corps Sergeant Mitch Lanier, raised in a Catholic orphanage; their rocky marriage; the births of a son and daughter; and Mitch’s gradual downward spiral from a man who built his own home and could fix anything into a schizophrenic, obsessed with the Virgin Mary and extra-terrestrial flight.

They raise their family in rural Idaho, where Betty relies on her inner life, her love of the land, to give her the fortitude to fulfill her marriage vows and the courage to protect her family and seek whatever help is available for Mitch. Betty grows from a subservient homemaker of the 1940s and ’50s to a breadwinner in the 1960s. Love and temptation, fear and loss give a razor’s edge to a sometime funny, often difficult, life.

It is also the story of the conflicting relationship between Betty and daughter Torie, who seeks her future in Washington, D. C., during the anti-war movement; and Betty’s pride and apprehensions for son Michael, a combat infantry lieutenant in Vietnam.

The lives of this post-war American family are etched with vivid detail. The author drew on her observations of her father’s schizophrenia to give this novel a sometimes tender, sometimes brutal, realism.
