I look forward to reading "A Message Across Time" to my grade school grandchildren. What an opportunity to explain life without a cell phone while telling my own stories! When remembering life past, what can we learn--both about who we are now, and how we came to be?

As a middle school English teacher, if I assigned this book to my students, we would have a lot to talk about. There are elements of good educational value for writing, social studies, history, and even chemistry.

I really enjoyed reading "A Message Across Time." The author paints a wonderful image of the town she obviously loves deeply. These heartwarming stories portray a colorful picture of childhood and the adventures shared with friends in the community. I think readers will enjoy the mischief and escapades presented within this book’s pages.

Author, A Message Across Time
From the adventurous stock of Oregon Territory pioneers, author Barbara Klett is the great-granddaughter of 1875 homesteader Jesse Z. Winn. Raised in the same community as her granddad and father, Barbara’s heart beats strong for those in Eastern Oregon.
Wife, mother, educator, student, ninth-of-eleven children in her family, this closet non-reader snuck her way through school until the door to reading finally unlocked for her. Come, enjoy the escapades of kids who uncover mysteries, face danger, and build lasting friendships through the eyes of this extraordinary storyteller.
