About the Book:
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:I thoroughly enjoyed For a Lifetime by
Gabrielle Meyer, in part because I loved the sisterhood between Grace and Hope.
Both women seemed real and relatable as they wrestled with knowing God's will
for their futures and accepting His plans for their lives. Though they
struggled with the same issues, they struggled in different ways. I savored the
faith threads of the story and marked several quotes that stood out to me.
For a Lifetime had the potential to be very sad as it
dealt with the sisters' difficulties and the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.
However, the story avoided feeling overly dark because as it carried the weight
of the events, it also held hope, faith, and budding romances. The sisters’
journeys served as a good reminder to make the most of the days we are given. I
was happy with the ending.
For a Lifetime lands as book three in the Timeless
series by Gabrielle Meyer. The novel could be read as a standalone, but I
recommend reading the series in order as characters from books one and two do
appear. I recommend For a Lifetime by Gabrielle Meyer to those
who enjoy historical romance with time travel, emotional depth, and spiritual
themes. 4.5 Stars, and I’m looking forward to book four!
