Rubies and Other Gems by Joyce DeBacco
Escaping the reality of a clueless husband and willful kids, Lily indulges in a romantic fantasy that proves all too real when Grandma’s rubies send her back in time. Thinking she’s merely dreaming, she engages in a one-night stand with a gorgeous blacksmith. Not until she returns to the present and sees the whisker burn on her neck does she realize what has happened. Aware she can’t mend her marriage or steer her children in the right direction unless she stays in the here and now, she vows to leave the past to the past. But in her attempt to take away the jewelry’s power, she accidentally sends herself back without her return ticket, the rubies. Will her dysfunctional family fall apart without her? Or will they pull together for the common good? It could go either way.
