Maggie inherited a gift from her time-crossing parents that allows her to live three separate lives in 1861, 1941, and 2001. Each night, she goes to sleep in one time period and wakes up in another. Until she turns twenty-one, when she will have to forfeit two of those lives--and everyone she knows in them--forever.
In 1861, Maggie is the daughter of a senator at the outbreak of the Civil War, navigating a capital full of Southern spies and wounded soldiers. In 1941, she is a navy nurse, grappling with her knowledge of the future when she joins a hospital ship going to Pearl Harbor. And in 2001, she's a brilliant young medical student, fulfilling her dream of becoming a surgeon.
While Maggie has sworn off romance until she makes her final choice, an intriguing man tugs at her heart in each era, only complicating the impossible decision she must make, which looms ever closer. With so much on the line, how can Maggie choose just one life to keep and the rest to lose?

My Thoughts
Time Travel...the ever mysterious...ever intriguing impossibility that we all (I think) wish were real...at least to some extent.
Gabrielle Meyer takes this improbability and creates a world where the impossible becomes reality as we follow Maggie through, not two, but three timelines in search of answers and a happy ending. Rooted in history, this story absolutely absorbed my every thought. I don't know that I've ever shared the plot line of a book with my husband more than this one. Bouncing my ideas for the twists I was anticipating, things I hoped were going to happen, and aspects that I was afraid WOULD happen.
Historical Romance with faith and time travel. I feel that the author covered the basics in a concise manner without having to immerse the story into the sci-fi realm. Adventure, peril, heartache, and uncertainty pair beautifully with the passion, family, love, and faith in this story. Every.single.page in both of these books are filled to the brim and will keep you turning the page until the very end.
In This Moment is the second book of the Timeless Series and I strongly encourage you to read When the Day Comes first as there is a lot of background that is explained and essential to the storyline in book two.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
