The story of Izzy, Josh, the Sturdevant family and their friends in Braintrim, Pennsylvania, continues in the third book of The Oldest House series, A CHRISTMAS IN TIME-CHRISTMAS, 1799. The book weaves local, national and international events of the period into the fictional frame of the story, interspersed with fascinating glimpses into daily life of the late 18th century. A CHRISTMAS IN TIME opens with Izzy and Josh returning from their home in Charlottesville, Virginia, to The Oldest House for the December holidays. While Izzy, Elizabeth, Josh and Sam make the rounds of visits to friends, enjoy quiet time with family and worship together during the festive season, A CHRISTMAS IN TIME makes history personal, treating readers to glimpses of the way in which the people of Braintrim, on the cusp of a new century, might have felt about and been affected by events in their own community and in the wider world. Conversations among major and minor characters allow readers to engage with and learn about actual historical events of the period alongside their fictional acquaintances. A Christmas in Time is also imbued with historical detail: the etiquette, fashions, food, pastimes and entertainments of the day are all part and parcel of the story. And of course, there is the heroine, Izzy: a modern woman doing her best to live in the late 18th century without being found out. Is her secret safe? Can she contain her 'future knowledge' and find her place in the late eighteenth century world? Does anyone suspect she is much, much more than what she seems?
