The quiet undertone of suspense introduced in the PROLOGUE disappears in early chapters, making it's eventual appearance even more alluring.

In 1965, Carly chooses to work with the "strange" guy, Hunter, and even introduces this stranger to her sister who marries him! Wait - what about the faintly sinister singing of
"Ticket to Ride"? Carly's marriage to her long time love, Captain Joseph Sears, leads to a pregnancy that he never learns of because he is killed in Vietnam.

Unborn Baby Joanna is diagnosed with what will be a fatal heart condition until Mom and Baby are time traveled away for preventative surgery. The plot moves quickly up to an overload of repeated hospital drama and a couple of questionable twists.

Why does fully rational and scientific minded Myra not give Carly future portals?
And, why does selfish Carly not seek a different solution other than the tree house, with its horrifying and haunting climax for her daughter?
She could just have emailed her the Outer Banks address, no?
