Product Description
From School Library Journal
ea. vol: 166p. (Swept Away Series). Avon. 1986. $2.50. A new series, this one promises a girl ``swept away by time. . .swept away by love.'' The creators deserve credit for this new twist on an old genre: historical romance with touches of Back to the Future . A computer programmed for time travel sweeps the heroines away to their chosen period in history. In the first, Ashley jumps back to her great grandmother's Civil War south and helps her elope with her true love. In the second, 1960s freak Lou goes back to Woodstock and assists at the birth of her boyfriend, as well as uncovers the latent hippie in her mother, a stiff corporate lawyer. A mess of wooden writing and plot contrivance, these are idiotic, but good, clean fun.

An amazing series that is truly missed!, May 23 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gone With the Wish (Paperback)
What a wonderful book, and what a wonderful way to introduce young adult readers to American history! Through a glitch in her computer, Ashley is swept back to the Civil War south. There she meets her ancestor Violet and also encounters a handsome soldier. Ashley keeps her wits about her and has the adventure of her life. If you can get you hand on this book or any other in the series, DO IT NOW!

Swept Away, Nov 1 2009
By Retiredtee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gone With the Wish (Paperback)
The book I received was in poor condition--the pages were badly yellowed--I have never received a used book like that. The book itself was written for teenagers. I have read several books by Eileen Goudge that I enjoyed. But this one was not for my age group.
Listmania!
