—based on publicity material
You really came from the future. I’m trying to recall things my mother told both me and my sister. we were young. She told us about telephones, I thought she was kidding. Although we recently heard that a man by the name of Bell and another man by the name of Gray both worked on devices to speak over distances.

Indexer Notes
(2)
- Goodreads suggests that Tripping through Time is the same book as Burned into Time, but they are not. Also, the cover of Tripping through Time states that it’s Time Can Heal Your Heart, Book 1, but we’ve found no other Ricksen books than Burned into Time, so we’ve designated Burned through Time as Book 2, which is also justified by the fact that the Book 2 heroine Lacy sets out to find her sister Keeley in the past.
- The earliest used trade paperback that we’ve seen for sale is from February 2011 from the Faery Rose imprint of Wild Rose Press with the ISBN 1-60154-392-1. This is also the date of the paperback’s product details at Amazon. We think that's the first print edtion. However, Goodreads lists a Kindle editon from 2 January 2009, and as of 2025, the Kindle edition lists First Faery Rose Edition, 2008, and the Nook edition says the same thing plus ©2008 by Mary M. Ricksen, First published in 2009-01-02. For now, we’ll list a January 2009 as the debut, and we’ll mark that as a e-book.
