Have you ever had a moment in your life that you wished you could do over? Make a different choice? Turn in a different direction? Say “yes” instead of “no”?

For Morra Kinkaide, that branch point came when when she was six years old and watched her beloved older brother drown in a lake near their parents’ summer home.

Determined to rescue her brother, Morra has become a time traveler. And now, twenty years after that fateful day, she is ready to fulfill a promise she made to herself as a child—to return to the lake and prevent her brother’s death.

Her instructors have told her that she cannot change the past, but she is determined to prove them wrong, no matter what the cost.

Picnic by the Lake of Time is a bittersweet, bite-size (11K) summer read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth you time

A great read. It makes you think of meaningful events in the past and how they effected you. And it raises 2 interesting questions. One, if time travel was a reality should we do it? Second, would you do it?

A thoughtful short story, well worth your time.

This is a terrific story mixing so many elements skillfully and with style. I throughly enjoy the author's use of and explains concerning future relics - time displaced items or people appearing in history such as steel nuts and bolts found in rocks thousands of years old.

Interesting but I am not sure what point the author was making. Maybe I just missed it. The end is happy but left me confused as to what the message was.
