The American Journey series is John A. Heldt’s second time travel sequence, published between 2015 and 2017. The five books send characters to various periods of American history, with each novel using a different era as its backdrop. September Sky, Mercer Street, Indiana Belle, Class of ‘59, and Hannah’s Moon each explore what it means to live in a time that is not your own.
The series takes readers from the early twentieth century through the postwar period, with Heldt using the time travel conceit to examine how American life has changed across generations. The romantic elements in each book are grounded in the specific details of the period, giving the love stories a texture that comes from their historical settings.
