I admit it. When I first realized this was a time travel novel from my trusted, beloved author Diane Chamberlain, I was... skeptical at best. I just wasn't sure I was going to be able to buy in. But then I started reading, and noticed comparisons to The Time Traveler's Wife, which I admittedly loved, and decided I was all in. And I'm so glad I was.
This story tore me up and broke my heart. Carly receives devastating news about her unborn child and believes she's about to lose her baby, which is all that she has left after her husband's death in Vietnam. But her brother-in-law Hunter has a solution for her- he can help her travel to the future, when medical advances will allow her baby to have a chance at life. What follows is heart-wrenching as Carly fights emotions and science for a chance at the best life possible for her child. There were surprises and challenges ahead, and the ending very possibly had me tearing up.
Don't ask me whether or not the science in this book is solid- I really have no idea. It's explained well enough for this layperson who has no real interest in science fiction, but I can't say definitively that this will hold up if you're not able to suspend any disbelief.
