If She Had Stayed

Diane Byington’s fascinating and creative story If She Had Stayed, blends elements of romantic suspense and women’s literature. The former rock star Kaley Kline is overjoyed to have been hired as the head of Colorado Springs’ brand-new Tesla Museum. She finds a diary ascribed to Nikola Tesla while looking for unknown works to display.

At first, Kaley is dubious and questions whether Tesla was having a nervous breakdown when he wrote it. If his experiments were genuine, though, they might permanently alter the course of history.
