I think I loved For A Lifetime even more than the first two books and that's saying something as they are both on my all time favorite list! I honestly tried to read it slowly, but I had to know what happened. I liked both Grace and Hope and was intrigued by both of their lives. There were some plot twists along the way making me change how I thought it would end several times. Luc and Isaac are both strong men and quite worthy of the girls. It was nice to see Gray and Maggie again!
I especially loved this quote by Isaac: "'Tis fine to tell Him your frustrations. Prayer is about a relationship with God." He tapped the reins against the backs of his horses to get them to move a little faster. "Like we're talking now. 'Tis not about what you can do for me, or what I can do for you. We're talking to help each other better understand difficult situations. We talk to get to know one another and to enjoy each other's company. Sometimes we ask for help, but a loving relationship isn't always about what the other person can do for us. 'Tis the same with God. We pray and read the Bible to know Him better, to understand His nature. To take comfort. To be known."
So plan on spending a bit of time to savor this book. And mourn the fact that we have to wait until November for the next one.
All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
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?
