I went into The Dream Daughter blind, and I so glad that I did. As I started reading this, my heart was breaking for Caroline. When the story started to unfold and I realized this had to do with time travel, I had my reservations. I do not know if I would have picked this up knowing that, so I am glad I did not know or I would have missed out on a great read.
This story is about the love a mother has for her child and the depths in which she will go to save her life. I was crying within the first few chapters, and on the edge of my seat to see what would happen to Joanna. This also deals with family, love, and loss, and our military. I loved the family dynamics and their relationships with one another.
The time travel was done really well. I actually found myself intrigued with it more than I thought I would have been. It really kept my interest. Even though this was not an action packed story, it still moved along pretty well.
There were some parts that were too detailed for me, and others I wanted more information around. It is hard to pinpoint these areas, as I do not want to give away spoilers. I did find myself skimming some sections around 2013. I think this could have been cut down and still had the emotional impact that 2013 brings to the story.
I absolutely loved the ending of this story. I think it pulls everything together very well and sticks to the story around time travel and how your actions can form the changes for the future.
Overall, I really enjoyed this and I am glad I gave it a chance. If you love books around family, from Diane Chamberlain, or around something that is a little different in the historical fiction genre, then I definitely think you just give it a try.
