By Kelly Bridgewater
Grace and Hope
are identical twin sisters born with the ability to time-cross together between
1692 Salem, Massachusetts, and 1912 New York City. As their twenty-fifth
birthday approaches, they will have to choose one life to keep and one to leave
behind forever--no matter the cost.
In 1692, they live and work in their father's
tavern, where they must watch helplessly as the witch trials unfold in their
village, threatening everyone. With the help of a handsome childhood friend,
they search for the truth behind their mother's mysterious death, risking
everything to expose a secret that could save their lives--or be their undoing.
In 1912, Hope dreams of becoming one of the
first female pilots in America, and Grace works as an investigative journalist,
uncovering corruption and injustice. After their parents' orphanage is
threatened by an adversary, they enter a contest to complete a perilous
cross-country flight under the guidance of a daring French aviator.
The sisters have already decided which timeline
they will choose, but an unthinkable tragedy complicates the future they
planned for themselves. As their birthday looms, how will they determine the
lives--and loves--that are best for both of them?
My Thoughts:
For a Lifetime
by Gabrielle Meyer is a delightful tale with two historical events: Aircraft
and the Salem Witch Trials. Meyer crafts a wonderful enthralling tale of two
twin sisters who experience life during both time periods. Readers will be
enchanted as they experience life through the eyes of Hope and Grace. I know I
was. Meyer has a wonderful way of crafting historical drama that the readers
will have a hard time putting the story down. I finished the books within one
day, and I can’t wait for the next installment. Once they are all written, I
will definitely want to read them all over again to see more little surprises
that I did not come across the first time. Of course, romance does allude and
capture both of the girls. I enjoy how Meyer wraps a spiritual truth for each
character to learn. A nice lesson for the readers too. I love her descriptions
of the setting, the clothes, and the characters. The characters are
three-dimensional with real conflict, love interest, and struggle to decide
what time period to choose. I love this series. It is original and
unpredictable. I cannot wait for the next book, Across the Ages.
I received a complimentary copy of For a
Lifetime by Gabrielle Meyer from Bethany House Publishing, but the opinions
stated are all my own.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Purchase For a Lifetime
