The Necklace by Linda S. Rice

What if you could travel back into the past to meet the man of your dreams at a time when it would be possible for him to fall in love with you? Susan does just that when she meets two ladies from Haiti while on a cruise with her childhood friend, Lynn. Mika, the elderly of the two ladies, claims she can see into Susan’s soul and that if she sends her back in time to meet James, the man whom Susan has dreamed of for fifty years, Susan will learn something important about him and about herself. Susan travels back to the year 1962 in her 17-year-old body, where she meets James, age 20, a member of a band that will one day become the greatest band of all time. Susan is stunned and delighted when James is instantly drawn to her, inviting her out for tea and offering to walk her back to her hotel after the band quits playing for the night. But much to her dismay, Susan’s 17-year-old hormones begin to play havoc with her 62-year-old brain, tempting her towards a relationship with James that she’s not really certain she wants. Will James end up being the paragon Susan’s always thought him to be? Or will she learn that sometimes, when a dream comes true, it’s not quite what you expected? This book (and all books in “The Necklace” series) is dedicated to all those women whose teenage heart was stolen and captured by a rock star/musician and who have remained loyal through the years. May this fantasy story lighten your spirit, make you both laugh and cry and let you know that your dreams never need to die.
