Time-travel on dragonback
Both book of the Pern series, which I remember fondly as a kid / young adult read though they can probably be enjoyed by anyone with a taste for not too overly complicated science-fantasy tales. They narrate about the same events from two different viewpoints (that of dragonriders and that of "grounders" so to speak). http://bookmooch.com/m/related?asin=0552124990

A deadly epidemic was sweeping across Pern. Everyone, holder and dragonrider alike, pitched in to help -- except Nerilka's father, who refused to share Fort Hold's bounty with the other Holds. So, ashamed of her family and determined to do her part, Nerilka packed up medicines and supplies and sneaked off to aid her people. Her quest to help wherever she was most needed led her finally to Ruatha Hold, where Lord Alessan was frantically preparing the precious serum needed for mass inoculations against the dread plague. Nerilka had long ago abandoned the hope of marriage and a home of her own. Now she found happiness in being useful and appreciated -- first the Healers and then Alessan made very clear that they were grateful for her help. She had no idea that her new path would change the course of her life forever !
