About This 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 REVIEW: ★★★★★ 5/5
If I could give this book TEN STARS, I would! With an intriguing storyline that captivated my attention, dynamic characters who stole my heart and two alternating timelines that rotated between two POV's, I wholeheartedly fell in love with this story.
HIGHLIGHTS:
The Salem Witch Trials -
Time-Crossing Twin Sisters -
Women in Early Aviation
For a Lifetime is a thrilling tale of adventure and mystery (and a new favorite one my shelves!).
From the heavy darkness through the period of witch trials in 1692 Massachusetts to the bright, sensational days of women making flight history in 1912, dual stories happening simultaneously, I found myself propelled through this book at an exciting pace that held me captive. Twins, Grace and Hope, are well-developed characters that each bring something unique to the story with their vastly different, yet bold, personalities and make it that much more compelling.
Rich, interwoven threads of faith, sisterhood, duty and sacrificial love are displayed throughout the book and I found myself in tears towards the satisfying ending.
I loved how the intricately researched historical events of this story were presented in an entertaining way. I found the book to be well-written, creative and 100% A MUST READ! Can't wait for the next release in this series and to read this author's backlist as well!
