After a scan by her doctor they think there is something very wrong with her daughter and they don't have the means in 1970 to fix what is wrong with the baby. In walks her brother-in-law who may have a way to help her.

SPOILERS START HERE
I don't usually include spoilers in my review, but I feel like I have to with this one because the big plot point of this story threw me for a loop and I want to avoid that for anyone else.

Ok, here it goes, this book has time travel. If I had known before picking up this book, I am not sure I would have read it and continued, but I will say that I am glad I started and finished it and it sort of worked in this book. It is the only science fiction portion of the book, so if you can pause reality when you read for just a moment you can try this and possibly enjoy it.

Hunter, Caroline's brother-in-law is able to send her to the future where they can possibly heal her child. There are twists and turns and interesting plot points and in the end I enjoyed it. I liked how the science of it worked out, but it definitely came out of nowhere and I am not sure I was excited that I didn't know about it when I started the book.

I love Diane Chamberlain as an author and that was one of the big reasons that I kept with the book and like her other books this story had great plot and characters that allowed me to pause my realistic self and keeping reading along.

I would say try it with this one.
