Synopsis
All your life, you dreamed about the City of God.
Now that you're there, you want to go home.
But you can't.
Your name is Rivka Meyers, and you are a total misfit.
You time-traveled from 21st century Jerusalem back to the year AD 57. Misfit.
You're a woman living in a culture where men buy their wives. Misfit.
You married the man who followed you back in time, but you're a Christian, and he's Jewish. Misfit.
You have a photographic memory, and that's your curse. Because you read all the history books and you know what's coming. Disaster for the City of God.
There's an old man in this city you love. He's kind to everyone. He treats you like a human. Even though you're a woman. And you know he's going to die.
Because you read his story in the history books. He is James, the brother of Jesus of Nazareth. The leader of the Jesus Movement in Jerusalem. And in the year AD 62, he's going to be murdered by the same family of priests who hounded Jesus to the cross.
This man James has five years to live. You know very well you can't change the future.
Your husband, Ari Kazan, is a physicist who tells you every day you can't change the future.
But it's your moral duty to change the future.
You are a stubborn cuss. Always have been. Always will be.
If there's a way to get around the laws of physics, you're going to find it.
Because you love James with your whole heart.
You would rather die than let him be murdered.
You may just get your wish.
About The Book
Premonition is a time-travel suspense novel that mixes science, history, religion, romance, and suspense. It's about becoming the person you were meant to be. It's about learning to accept harsh reality when you'd really rather quit and go home. It's about being a badass fighter for justice, even when you're fresh out of easy answers to hard questions.
Premonition won the 2004 Carol award for best Christian historical novel.
Premonition will take you on a wretched, miserable, dangerous adventure through the filthy, bandit-ridden streets of first-century Jerusalem.

Book 1: Transgression (A.D. 57)
Book 2: Premonition (A.D. 57-62)

From the Back Cover
Excerpt
Rivka stepped into the street. "Come here, little girl. I'll help you."
Fear twisted the girl's face. She backed away. "Imma!"
Rivka followed her. "I won't hurt you! I'll help you find your Imma."
The child backed up further, stepping into the shadows of the narrow street.
Rivka hurried forward. "I won't hurt--"
A shadow lunged toward her.
Rivka screamed, spun, stumbled. Her oil lamp flew against the wall, broke into a thousand shards.
The shadow fused into a grubby, bearded man with a very dirty face. Strong hands pinned her arms to her sides.
"Get away from me!" Rivka kicked furiously. "Ari! Help! Baruch!" She twisted her head, trying to butt the man.
Several men emerged from the shadows and surrounded her.
Strong hands grabbed her hair and yanked back, stretching her neck painfully. A cold metal blade pressed against her throat.
