Happier Ever After Stephen St James

Karen, clinical psychologist and captain of the most sophisticated time-traveling spaceship ever constructed, knew that "we need to talk" are words no relationship wants to hear; yet there she was. She was certain chief engineer Andre was "the one," until the morning she rolled over, looked him in the face, and got a chill. It's not a good sign when the expert on feelings doesn't know where her own are coming from. The answer was obvious: travel back in time to the origins of the human race.

With the help of Cindy, Andre's personal Cher look-alike walking computer, mental teleportation from the bio lab allows the executive staff to take over evolving Bonobo chimps on the surface of ancient earth. Karen's love fest is followed by trip number two, Home Erectus Apes. The other side of humanity takes turns bashing each other over the head. Karen realizes that every side of humanity must be understood.

Getting home proves problematic. A space time catastrophe cripples the ship in the Andromeda galaxy beside a planet at war with itself.

Happier Ever After introduces us to ourselves, who we really are deep inside, and what to do about it. It also forecasts what will happen if we don't.
