A captivating exquisitely told story about the power of a mother’s love💕
WOW! WOW! WOW! This was simply book perfection! It already has a spot on my “Fave� shelf! As well as a spot in my heart! The thing I am most proud of in my life is being a mom; and the three people I love the most in my life are my three amazing children! And even though they are pretty much all grown up now I would do anything to protect any of them! So of course I could not help but put myself in Carly‘s position in this book, to what Lankes is a mother willing to go for her child? Would you be able to face the unknowable? Believe the unbelievable? Take that leap of faith?
If you have not read this book yet, I am so jealous! You have such an amazing treat ahead of you... it is 1970... Carly has just lost her husband to the Vietnam war, and now she has found out that her unborn baby has an inoperable heart defect.... Hunter her sister’s husband, who seems to know the words to the Beatles songs before they have come out, and is also a physicist tells Carly there might be a way to save her baby.... BUT it will require her to believe the unbelievable and have faith and take a huge leap, quite literally.... you see Hunter is from the future he knows how to time travel and he can send Carly to the year 2001 where it is possible to operate on her babies heart... Time traveling? What? Who is the author again? DON’T panic! Trust me! It SO works! Shoot by the end of this book I was almost believing I could travel back in time myself!
Even though the time traveling aspect of this book was interesting and a little stressful... just imagine how much the world change between 1970 and 2001, microwave ovens, cell phones, Internet, the list goes on and on and on... this really is a book all about love, and hope, and sacrifice.... A beautiful heartwarming story with some time travel peppered in...
This is a genre defying, Decade spanning, story filled with all the components you want in a book... A perfectly pased and compelling storyline, relatable and captivating characters, and all the feels! This book truly surpassed my expectations and I probably could go on and on and on, but I will save you that! Strongly encourage you to add this book to your TBR ASAP! It will bring tears to your eyes, a big smile to your face, but most of all it will leave a warmth in your heart!
*** A huge thank you to St. Martin’s Press for my copy of this book ***
