Maggie lives each date three times a year, one on each of her 3 timelines: 1861, 1941, and 2001. Each night she goes to sleep in one time and then wakes up in another. She inherited this gift from her time-crossing parents so she knows that when she turns 21 she will have to choose only one life to live, leaving behind everything she knows and loves in the others.

In 1861, it the outbreak of the Civil War and as the the daughter of an influential senator, she is having to juggle her desire to help with her role in society.  

In 1941, she is a Navy nurse figuring out how to handle the knowledge of the future she has as she is agreed to join a hospital ship headed for Pearl Harbor. 

In 2001, Maggie is a standout medical student, working to become a surgeon. And she struggles not to use her modern medical knowledge in her other paths. 

As her 21st birthday approaches, she isn't looking for romance but a man finds a place in her life in each era. Will love complicate or clarify which path she should take?

I was nervous that this book couldn't love up to my expectations after I adored the first one, but I was proven wrong because it was just as excellent. 

I am a sucker for a Civil War setting, but all three of the timelines here were so good. I was never sad when the chapter changed and I switched to a new timeline. 

Maggie has so much to contend with here in these three lives, but she handles her life with grace and faith in a way that was continually making me like her more. Plus the romantic interests in every timeline were so appealing and I wasn't sure who to root for! 

I recommend this series to everyone and haven't had someone come back yet and say they don't love them!
_____
This is a closed door, kisses only historical time travel romance. It is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. 

Thank you Netgalley and Bethany House for the gifted book!
