About this title

Synopsis

A historical novel. Security, joy, gentleness, faith, and love were hallmarks of Hattie Stoneworth Crowe's life. Now, though surrounded by a loving extended family, the horrors of the Great Depression and the death of her husband threaten her future and that of her three-year-old daughter and unborn child. A potentially greater danger looms from an unexpected source. Smith Delaney, an out-of-work miner known for his wanderlust, hair-trigger temper, fast fists, and taste for hard living, comes to her looking for work as a handyman. Against all reason she hires him. Their story is set in the coal fields of Muhlenberg County, in the western part of Kentucky. Through the hardships of the era, through birth and death, tragedy and triumph, a young woman valiantly seeks to hold on to her faith and her family. And a lonely man seeks faith, family and love. The resulting tapestry is one of sunshine and shadow, sorrow and delight, laughter and tears. But hope and joy reign supreme.

About the Author

Lisa Kay Hauser is a school district secretary in Brodhead, Wisconsin. She and her husband, Richard, are parents of a twenty-year-old daughter,Tracie, an eighteen-year-old son, Ricky, and a three-year-old son, Garrett. Lisa is lead singer for the Rock River Revival bluegrass band, and is a published and recorded song writer. This is her first novel, but the sequel is already underway and at least a trilogy is planned for the story of Hattie Crowe and her family and friends. Co-author is Hauser's father, Philip Dale Smith, a children's book author (OVER is not UP!, Nighttime at the Zoo, The Rabbit and the Promise Sign, and Little Tom Meets Mr. Jonah--the latter two co-authored by Pat Day-Bivins). Dale is a professional speaker who conducts seminars nationwide on the theme, "Every Kid a Winner." These programs strengthen families and equip adults to help children reach their full potential. Philip Dale and Mary Jo Smith, his wife, live in Spanaway, WA, near Tacoma. The love the co-authors for family can be quickly sensed by those who read Turn Back Time. The book is a novel, but woven into into the story is much family lore and many actual events that happened in the coal communities of western Kentucky in the 1930s.
