Defined by love. Denied by time.
In the month of June, 1952, Eudora Winningham leaves the sticky summer heat of Booneville, Mississippi, and embarks upon the great adventure of flying to France to spend time in Provence. The expedition in itself is almost taboo for a genteel southern lady, but that's not the most unique thing about this particular holiday. While trespassing on his land to find the perfect spot to capture the beautiful landscape onto canvas, Eudora meets Alain Philidor... and falls in love.
Eudora can tell from the start that Alain is a special man, and the farmhouse he has so lovingly restored an equally special place, but she doesn't learn just how special until it's too late. For while she exists in the world where calendars mark the year as 1952, Alain is of a different place and time altogether-the world of 2006. Can they bridge this chasm of time, or will the years between them deny their love forever?
A hauntingly beautiful tale of love found and love lost, Only a Moment Ago chronicles the deeply personal struggle of heartbreak with tenderness and dignity. Debut author Wanita Humphrey captures perfectly the anguish, the confusion, the soul-rending feelings of betrayal and loneliness we've all felt at the end of the affair, yet still manages to deliver a message of hope and affirmation in even the most unimaginable of circumstances.
