In Winona Kent's novel Persistence of Memory, Charlie Lowe, a young widow in Stoneford, England, was accidentally transported back to 1825, where she fell in love with Shaun Deeley, a groom employed at Stoneford Manor. They are only back in the present for seemingly a breath before a piece of wartime shrapnel sends them tumbling back through time to 1940, the height of the Blitz. There, they discover pieces of Charlie's past that counter everything she thought she knew about herself.

Charlie and Shaun have decisions to make—do they interfere in time's progress to save a man? Do they put their own future at risk by doing nothing? And how much time do these two lovers have left?

Note: this edition of In Loving Memory contains the bonus short story Easy When You Know How.
