Finished book #4 in 2026

The refreshing part of this time-travel plot was: of the two people traveling, one lands in 1938 from the future (2022) and the other from the past (1898). One thing I especially liked about the way the story unraveled was that it was like it anticipated my questions and then answered them. Some examples:

1. I was wondering how Nicholas’ cabin became a museum. And in the very next chapter, that was answered.
2. I was wondering which family members were currently (in 1938) living in what was Emmeline’s sister’s home in 2022 (because it was a “family home” handed down over the years), and then Nicholas & Emmeline went there to see who was living there now.
3. I began wondering how Emmeline’s family (specifically her mother and sister) were reacting to her having gone missing in the future, and that eventually happened in chapter 18 with a jump back to 2022.
4. I wondered why Emmeline didn’t take a photo of Nicholas on the cell phone she had with her in 1938, which couldn’t be used as a phone at all, but whose camera would have been functional, and later on, when it was too late, Emmeline wondered herself why she hadn’t done that.

And of course, I liked that there was a gay character in the book.

A final comment about this book is that the author went to high school with Bob (my husband), and she’s my friend on Facebook, which fortunately didn’t influence my review of the book — thank goodness, as that could have been awkward. (Thanks for a great story, Nancy, and for anticipating my questions as a reader — and more importantly — answering them! 😍)
