Caroline doesn't know why, but when she falls asleep in 1727, she awakes in 1927, living two separate lives 200 years apart.
In 1727 she is fleeing an unwanted marriage in hopes of finding her mother and answers to her mysterious life, she joins the crew of a pirate ship disguised as a boy, taking the job of cabin boy to Marcus Zale. While in 1927 she is the dutiful daughter of a renown evangelist, trying to hold the pieces together of her family's picture perfect image, while working with her childhood friend to investigate her strange life.
An engaging tale from beginning to end, it was different seeing it through the eyes of someone who didn't know what was happening to them or why. I liked how Caroline was challenged in both times to examine her faith, finding true friends and defenders in both timelines. While, both timelines were wonderful, I couldn't help being drawn to Caroline's pirate lifeline more. I admired her parents in 1927 for approaching difficult things honestly and head on, without excuses.
Overall, a fantastic novel that is a wonderful addition to the series. I loved the juxtaposition of both the time lines, compelling plot, all centered around a core of faith. Highly recommend!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
