Patriot's Dream

This book was very....slow and dry before it got interesting. I was interested in the odd story about the young woman in the present (Jan) going to live with her elderly aunt and uncle where her ancestors had lived and then dreaming about the people who lived there 200 years before. It was like a ghost story only she was real and watching the past from 200 years in the future from her dreams.
The story flipped from the past to the present so both stories were intertwined. I have to say I was bored to tears for most of the book and had to make myself just sit down and read it. I tended to only read one chapter at a time before wandering off to do anything else. I finally got into it and finished the rest much faster than the first part. I love stories about family genealogy and this one had an interesting twist BUT I think it could have been better. I knew almost from the start who the main character would end up marrying. I've read too many BM's books to be surprised.
