"Browsing an antiques shop in Wiltshire, Alison Bannister stumbles across a delicate old portrait--identified as the doomed Tudor queen, Anne Boleyn. Except Alison knows better.

And Alison knows this because she, too, lived at Wolf Hall and knew Mary ... more than four hundred years ago. The painting of Mary is more than just a beautiful object for Alison--it holds the key to her past life, the unlocking of the mystery surrounding Mary's disappearance and how Alison can get back to her own time. To when she and Mary were childhood enemies yet shared a pact that now, finally, must be fulfilled, no matter the cost"--Amazon.com.- Subjects: Alternative histories (Fiction); Portraits; Families; Family secrets; Time travel;

With grim determination, Molly teaches herself the basic pioneer skills, chopping firewood and washing her clothes with melted snow.

But there's another obstacle to her success: an idealistic young farmer, Colin McKay, wants to thwart Molly's strategy to sell her great-aunt's farm to an oil company. Will Molly be cheated out of her inheritance after all? Will she and Bridget survive the savage winter, and what comes next? Not only their financial future, but their very lives are at stake."--- Subjects: Psychological fiction.; Domestic fiction.; Single mothers; Inheritance and succession; Wilderness survival;
