Emma Merrigan Series by Lynn Abbey

Emma Merrigan, long-time librarian at a Midwest University cherishes her quiet, comfortable life as a librarian for a large, Midwestern university. The last thing she wants or needs is a Capital-D Destiny, especially one that's rooted in the nightmares she's endured since childhood. But her efforts to deny that destiny take her to the brink of disaster and an unimaginable reunion with the one person who can teach her what she'll need to know to survive.

Lynn Abbey's novels "make fantasy worth reading" (Booklist). Now, in Behind Time, Emma Merrigan-who has only recently discovered her time travel powers-must venture into the wasteland to rescue her imperiled mother.

To end a generational curse, Emma Merrigan travels back through time to a horrific act of violence--and faces the possibility that saving those in the future may mean sacrificing others in the past.

Emma Merrigan and her mother take a Caribbean cruise to reconcile their differences. But to help a cursed passenger, Emma must travel into the "wasteland."
