“None of us are independent of the ones we love. We’re woven together like a big tapestry, with each color unique and vibrant, but making a larger picture possible.”
Talented author Gabrielle Meyer has penned another fantastic story in her Timeless series. In This Moment has the heroine living in three different history-changing timelines. The premise is very creative and takes her first book in the series, When the Day Comes, a bit further with an extra timeline.
Meyer did an excellent job of combining the timelines and making them each interesting, historically accurate, and easy to follow. The characters are well-drawn and multi-layered, and I found myself drawn to them.
My interest was captured from the first page and held throughout the tale trying to guess which path Maggie would choose to stay in. Lots of twists and turns kept the plot moving along.
“Life is a gift and an adventure. We should never let fear hold us back from doing the things God has called us to do. The risk isn’t always in going, sometimes the risk is in staying and missing out on the journey.”

BackCover Blurb:
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?
