They decide to do all they can to prepare their precious little girl for what likely lies ahead for her. It is a future charged with risk the likes of which, for the unprepared and ordinary person, would spell certain doom. So begins Moria?s Time?the continuing saga of Richard & Janelle Grayson?s family. At six-years old, Moria starts to learn about her heritage. Like her mother, Moria is a MacKendall. The women of the Scots clan have unusual powers including, among many other skills, natural medicine?which Janelle soon discerns as Moria?s special and strongest gift.

At fourteen, Moria meets Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female MD in the US/UK.

At home for a visit, Moria is overjoyed to reconnect with her twin sister, Adelle, and meets her beau, Walter. He and Adelle convince Moria Dr. Hensley isn?t the enemy.

What does the future hold for Moria and Simon who, with their charity hospital and wartime experience, may not be happy in private practice tending to runny noses and strained muscles? Simon wants to settle in London, while Moria, with the Civil War on her mind, wants to return to America.
