He read the book in 1983 or 1984. It's about an african-american nurse who
travels back to the south during the days of slavery. She is drawn there to
save a plantation owner's son at different times, when his life is in
danger. Once she goes back to save him from drowning. The nurse is married
to a white man who doesn't believe that she's traveling back in time until
he travels with her. At some point the nurse returns to this time and her
husband gets left behind in the old south. The patron never got to finish
the book.
I hope it rings some bells!

That's it! You're a genius! The patron will finally be able to finish the
book after 15 years.
Thank you very much,

Can anyone identify this book for a patron?

travels back to the south during the days of slavery. She is drawn there to
save a plantation owner's son at different times, when his life is in
