"Beautifully written, this story brings time travel to life!"

Upstate New York, 2012. Emily Stanton, a sociology major, graduates from college and is obligated to work for the mysterious company that funded her education. But a job with Evergreen Research Corporation is not what she expects.

From fancy balls and operas to corsets and kid gloves, Emily learns to be a specialist in 1910 society. In the process, she finds herself fully immersed in the lives of wealthy aristocrats and industry leaders, whose thirst for power leads them to manipulate everything, including time. Thrust into this strange and dangerous world, Emily becomes their most important asset.

Unable to trust her coworkers or her surroundings, however, Emily finds herself alone--with her very survival in the hands of a handsome stranger, Wendell Beringer. Unfortunately, Emily soon discovers that he has a few secrets of his own.

Can she trust this man or the feelings she develops for him?
Only time will tell.

Follow Emily's unexpected journey, where journal entries to her deceased aunt and the powerful secrets they contain, become her only link to the life she once knew and the future she must choose to follow.

A Journey above expectation

Reviewed in Australia on 4 September 2015

From the moment I started this book, I was compelled to keep reading. There was an element of suspense underlying the words, that something was about to happen, but I didn’t know what.

The mystery starts to unfold for the heroine, Emily, an intelligent young woman with a college scholarship, which leads her to a journey that is far beyond her expectations and taking the reader by surprise. Mystery twists and turns, romance, history and sci fi, all part of a plot that satisfies to the end, but still leaving room to continue the trilogy.

Detailed and descriptive writing, great storyline, and surprising outcomes, make this book a very enjoyable read.

An entertaining read - well written with lots of surprises - certainly not your run of the mill romance 😊

Reviewed in Australia on 23 June 2015

Not able to afford college tuition, Emily Stanton accepted a full scholarship from Evergreen Research Corporation, with the understanding that, after right after graduation, she would have to spend the next four years working for them. Which didn't seem like such a bad idea, until she graduated. Now, the thought of spending fours years away from Mom and step-father, seems like too much of a sacrifice. But that's just the tip of the iceberg she is soon to uncover.

I thought the advancement of the plot was unique by the use of Emily's journal, which she calls Maude, named after her grandmother's aunt, who had a somewhat eccentric personality for her time period. This all ties in together at the end. I found myself drawn into the story, waiting with expectancy, as Emily found out what Evergreen Research Corporation really stood for, and their intended use of her knowledge and expertise. I also found my head spinning, just like Emily's, as she was confronted with the past, present and future, all at the same time. My favorite scene is while Emily is brushing her horse, Estelle, and she breaks into an air guitar recital with the brush, then Wendell Berringer walks in. Well, you had to have been there.

I found this a very entertaining tale and look forward to book 2. There is no bad language or sex scenes, so anyone who enjoys a light, time travel fantasy should enjoy this book. I give it 4 feathers.

Loved it!

When I first started reading “Dear Maude”, I wasn’t sure what I was reading. At best, I thought it was something about college life. Boy, was I wrong! This is a splendid book with a lot of twists and turns. It definitely had many well-kept secrets and kept me guessing all the way to the end. The main character, Emily Stanton, is on a scholarship that gives her more than she bargained for. The catch of the scholarship was to work for the granter of the scholarship, Evergreen Research, for four years after graduating from college. Little did Emily realize it would change her whole life.
It’s a story that borders “The Twilight Zone”, with a twist of espionage and toss in a little Agatha Christie for good measure.
The story has a great flow and kept me wanting to find out more about Emily’s bizarre situation and how she was going to handle it. The characters were memorable and believable. I didn’t have a connection to what she was going through, but by the time I finished the book, I was hoping she would win. Her self-esteem I could relate to and she goes through a transition of finding out what she can do even when she didn’t think she could. I highly recommend reading “Dear Maude” and I definitely have plans to read the next book in the series.

What great luck to have this book on my iPhone with me during an overnight hospital stay! Thank you to the author and Amazon for making it available to me to download. I can't write too many details without giving away the story but this is one of the best time-travel books I have ever read on all levels. The writing was crisp and the gossipy monologue/dialogue of the main character was appropriate to her age and original time period. I liked her and wanted to see her succeed in the challenges which faced her so much so that today I have bought the second and third books in the trilogy. I can't wait to see what comes next!

An Excellant Debut Novel from a very promising young authoress

Reviewed in the United States on 30 March 2015

Denise Liebig has written an intelligent, engaging, well written and commendable debut novel "Dear Maude." What she achieves in this novel is a deep understanding of: place, time, character, period, and an ability to maintain a sense of mystery throughout. No small achievement this must be said. The novel oscillates between a narrative form and a diarist form. I found this structurally uneven and this is the prime reason why I awarded this readable and enjoyable novel a four out of five and not a five out of five. But the author should be by no means be disappointed. This author will gain many fans believe me.
Lovers of period drama, romance, mills and boom novels, suspense, mystery, readers that love novels set in affluent environments, young adult readers, people who love a story about a young inexperienced girl falling in love, these readers will fall head over heals with this book, and this is something I can say unequivocally. There is a huge market for the "Dear Maude Trilogy." People will adore this young novelist whose main character Emily Stanton is both intelligent, inexperienced and lacking what colloquially we call the state of being, 'street wise.'
Her main character is a beautiful, humble, young woman, who is both modest and warm of heart.
Readers will find the protagonist of the book endearing, empathic, engaging, and involved. These affects are executed by the author stylistically via the manner in which she writes the book which is both: emotional, warm, and full of awareness of how others that surround the main character are cold and adrift from basic human decency. Thus, other characters act as baselines of comparison to Emily Stantons good heart, for although their bank statements maybe healthy, too many of the people Emily Stanton will encounter will be merely spiritually redundant and mentally impoverished, especially in regard to what it is to be a human being in this life. Because the author writes in the first person she achieves by this format of writing the ability to really grasp the inner world of Emily Stanton. What the reader gets in return is an excellent example of what it is like to be an outsider from the out-group attempting to fit in to the in-group, terms I learnt from my studies of social psychology and sociology.
The descriptions of the hyper affluent, how they dress, how they dine, is magnificent. What it feels like to be an underling, to be a person not from this society is so well done that all we can do is salute Denise Liebig and encourage her to finish this trilogy which she intends to provide us readers with.
The author manages to play on our nerves. We have no idea, as we read through the book, if the novel is a young adult book, a romance, a science fiction, a dystopian novel (for e.g. the contract provided by The Evergreen Research Corporation seems like a barbaric example of where Corporate American is headed in terms of workers rights and human rights) or an example of historical romantic fiction. Well done to Denise! in this present zeitgeist readers love a cross-fertilization of genres. The author keeps us in a sense of mystery, we wonder what exactly is happening to Emily, is she being used, or is she simply being employed to perform a set amount of duties that may or may not be to her personal detriment? These factors help to make this novel splendid and rather appetizing for perspective readers.
Denise Liebig shall find a loyal following as an authoress and many more praise worthy people than I shall sing her praises as an authoress.
