The History Mystery Trilogy Boxed Set:
Time and Again (book 1)
Unclaimed Legacy (book 2)
Every Hill and Mountain (book 3)
Abby Thomas’ summer starts with tutoring a sullen 11-year-old named Merri Randall. Not fun. But when Abby discovers a weird program on Merri's computer and that the girl has an unbelievably nice neighbor named John Roberts, her summer turns amazing. No one knows how the Beautiful Houses program works, but when it’s set up in an old house, the lives of everyone who ever lived there become an open book. With the click of the mouse Abby can pause, rewind, or fast-forward for a “God’s eye view†of history and a chance to get inside the minds of the people she meets to experience their hopes, fears, and challenges.
Finally. A way to find out what really happened in the olden days, the stuff that never made it into the history books. But there are dangers. Sometimes Abby and her friends find out more than they want to know about people and events from the past.
What Readers Have Said about the Trilogy
"A unique premise … sort of a Back to the Future meets virtual reality, with a little dash of Seventh Heaven thrown in. Abby and Merrideth are wonderfully developed characters, and I loved watching them bond over the history behind the house and its previous inhabitants."

"Deborah writes the kind of historical fiction that I love to read. BELIEVABLE! I am drawn into her books so much that I really think I'm there with the characters. . . I admire Deborah's attention to detail and the voice she gives to her characters... The ending was more satisfying than a delectable bar of chocolate. I believe that high school kids and adults will love the ride the author takes us on as we discover the secrets of Hickory Hill."

"Wow! Unclaimed Legacy is in a class of its own! There's no sophomore slump for author Deborah Heal--Unclaimed Legacy is an absolutely fantastic book. Unclaimed Legacy picks up right where Time and Again leaves off…and the action doesn't quit until the end of the book. I loved digging into the past with Merri, John, and Abby, and I'm anxious to finish the story with book three!… I highly recommend Unclaimed Legacy. 5.0 out of 5 stars "
