Maggie inherited a gift from her time-crossing parents that allows her to live three separate lives in 1861, 1941, and 2001. Each night she goes to sleep in one time period and wakes up in another. Until, that is, she turns twenty-one, when she will have to forfeit two of those lives--and everyone she knows in them--forever.
In 1861, Maggie is the daughter of an influential senator at the outbreak of the Civil War, navigating a capital full of Southern spies and wounded soldiers. In 1941, she is a Navy nurse, grappling with her knowledge of the future when she's asked to join a hospital ship being sent to Pearl Harbor. And in 2001, she's a brilliant young medical student, fulfilling her dream of becoming a surgeon, yet unable to use her modern skills in her other paths.
While Maggie has sworn off romance until she makes her final choice, an intriguing man tugs at her heart in each era. The mysterious British gentleman. The prickly, demanding doctor. The charming young congressman. She's drawn to each man in different ways, only complicating the impossible decision she must make, which looms ever closer.
With so much on the line, how can Maggie choose just one life to keep and the rest to lose?
My Thoughts:
Ms. Meyer raps this story up a notch, giving Maggie three time periods she travels to, and the decision of which life she should stay in is even harder.
My Navy brat self loved that Maggie is a Navy nurse, especially since that was my chosen occupation until a car accident in my senior year of high school kept me from attending the Naval Academy.
Gabrielle Meyer takes readers through three very plausible and realistic life choices for Maggie. I was on the edge of my seat with the different historical situations that happened in all three eras. It's been a while since I've stayed up past my bedtime reading, well, Ms. Meyer has kept me up way past my bedtime reading this series. I can't wait to start book three tonight.
