by Susan Tam

The opportunity to go back in time and make changes - who wouldn't want a chance to do so if they could? That is the premise of Tapestry. Katherine Hurston, wants to go back in time for the man she loves. However, if she changes the past, how much of the future would she be changing?

Katherine is involved with a married man. They sneak around during the weekends. Steve breaks off the relationship due to guilt and the stress of the situation. Katherine is devastated by the break-up. She feels she has found the love of her life after all these years. Her friend, Callie Barnes tries to convince her that Steve is not the man for her but Katherine doesn't accept or believe it. She insists that Steve truly loves her and will leave his wife and marry her. Katherine wishes she could go back in time and be the woman Steve marries! Thus solving her problem of being the "other" woman.

Katherine meets Dr. Max Martin, a friend of Callie's husband. Dr. Martin's specialty is the paranormal. His company is doing research on a drug that allows the recipient to time travel into the past. Katherine is tested for it and found to be especially susceptible to it. Not many people respond to the drug but she does. Max has his own agenda for doing the research. His brother, Michael was murdered and he wants to find the murderer. Nick Kharija owns the company funding the research. His daughter is dying of a rare blood disorder. It is believed that a cure was found for it in ancient Egypt and he wants Katherine to go back in time to retrieve the scrolls. The scrolls were found by Max's brother and upon his death, the scrolls disappeared. Katherine goes forward with the experiment and what she does or doesn't do will affect her future as well as everyone else's! The question is whether it will be the outcome she wants or something unexpected.

This was a great book from beginning to end!!! The plot moved quickly and the author kept me turning the pages till the very end. Katerine is an older heroine -- she is 48 years old at the beginning of this story. A mature woman who knows what she wants but what she deserves is a totally different matter. All the characters added to the reader's enjoyment of the book whether they were the good guys or the bad. Tapestry would be enjoyed by all readers whether you like the romance or mystery genre. The author provided a satisfying ending to the book and most importantly, everybody gets what he or she deserves!!!
