About this ebook
Paranormal, time travel novella, a prequel to Only Yesterday.
Everybody in her family and in the Gulf Coast town of Fairhope views Gilly as a woman whose life is plain and simple, one who has been content to spoil her great-niece Ann while living out her days in Windchime House. Only her best friend Margaret knows the heroic story of Gilly Debeau.
When Ann’s Christmas gift of wind chimes catapults Gilly back in time, she finds herself seated at the café Parisiene, having tea with her Papa and enjoying her eighteenth birthday gift – passage on the maiden voyage of the Titanic. As the string quintet entertains the passengers, Gilly can’t take her eyes off the handsome, talented violinist from West Yorkshire. Under William’s spell, she falls for both the music and the musician. But does an over-protected, unsophisticated girl from Alabama dare defy convention in order to become a woman? And how will she ever explain to Papa that she is planning a future with a man she’s known only three days?
Advance praise for Christmas in Time...“The perfect gift for Christmas! Arm yourself with plenty of tissues for this beautiful love story that takes the heroine back in time to the Titanic. Nobody tugs on the heartstrings like Peggy Webb!” Sandra Fortune “Ed.D. ETSU faculty”

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Although this was billed as a time travel story, it wasn't a time travel story in the usual sense of the phrase. It was more of story of remembering rather than actually traveling back in time. As for the love story itself, I suspect Gilly Debeau would not have found her happy ending even if the Titanic hadn't sunk.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a sweet and bittersweet tale of love found and lost. You are warned in the beginning that it will bring tears to your eyes and it sure did.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This short story made me cry ;-(Gilly Debeau has advanced in age and lives alone in Alabama. She has a great niece who calls on her but she lives in New York. Gilly collects wind chimes and the one her great niece gifts her one for Christmas seems to transport her to a time long ago forgotten on the great ship Titanic. Gilly dad has gifted her with the voyage on her 18th birthday and on this voyage Gilly meets her love. The romance takes place in a span of like two or three days and Gilly and William get engaged. Needless to say we all know how Titanic ends...Gilly is one of the survivors. William is not. This was a cute short story and prequel to another of Peggy Webb's books featuring the great niece. This short story was written very well. I sobbed like a baby reading this book. I think reading any story on Titanic will do this to me. I watched the movie and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed, didn't watch it for another five years or so and remembered why it had been so long in between watching again...Cause I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed as if I had lost people on that ship too. I didn't realize that this would be in the story but it definitely made the story more interesting to me. According to the summary in Goodreads it was a time travel episode I read but it didn't seem one to me. It felt as if Gilly fell asleep to the wind chimes and that made her dream of a time long ago in her memories. Well I got this on Kindle as a freebie and since I was in the mood for a Christmas story, I gave it a try. I'm glad I did. I will definitely read the next installment in the series.
