I love time travel and I love dual time novels, When The Day Comes combines both of those genres into a fantastic read! This book will definitely make my best 10 of the year! I loved the way Libby lived 2 lives. The settings and historical facts were described in great detail. I loved Libby and her mother's faith in God. The plot is unique and drew me along. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending as I thought it would go a different way. I am so fond of these characters that I contacted Gabrielle Myers to see if there will be a sequel and she said there are two more books coming! I can't wait. This book will definitely be on my keeper shelf!
So grab a pot of tea and settle in for a great read.
I was given a copy by the author with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
How will she choose, knowing all she must sacrifice?
Libby has been given a powerful gift: to live one life in 1774 Colonial Williamsburg and the other in 1914 Gilded Age New York City. When she falls asleep in one life, she wakes up in the other. While she's the same person at her core in both times, she's leading two vastly different lives.
In Colonial Williamsburg, Libby is a public printer for the House of Burgesses and the Royal Governor, trying to provide for her family and support the Patriot cause. The man she loves, Henry Montgomery, has his own secrets. As the revolution draws near, both their lives--and any hope of love--are put in jeopardy.
Libby's life in 1914 New York is filled with wealth, drawing room conversations, and bachelors. But the only work she cares about--women's suffrage--is discouraged, and her mother is intent on marrying her off to an English marquess. The growing talk of war in Europe only complicates matters.
But Libby knows she's not destined to live two lives forever. On her twenty-first birthday, she must choose one path and forfeit the other--but how can she choose when she has so much to lose in each life?
