Carly Sears is in
training to be a physical therapist. Hunter Poole is a patient with a
broken ankle that no one else can reach. He has no family, no friends
and no background, but Carly becomes his friend. They both love rock
and roll. It’s a bond that leads Carly to introduce him to her
sister, Patti. It’s love at first sight.
At first things go
well. Patti marries Hunter and Carly marries Joe, a second lieutenant
who is scheduled to go to Vietnam. Patti and Hunter have a baby, but
Joe is killed leaving a distraught Carly pregnant. The news gets
worse for Carly. The baby has a heart defect and will die after it’s
born. Carly can hardly stand the idea of losing her link to Joe, but
Hunter has an idea.
Although it seems
hardly believable, Hunter proposes sending Carly forward in time to
2001 where surgery could be preformed on her unborn baby. It sounds
dangerous, but Carly wants the baby. What will she be able to do to
save her unborn daughter?
This book requires
some suspension of disbelief. The characters, particularly Carly, are
realistic, but time travel is a bit of a stretch. This is not a
scientifically accurate discussion of time travel. Rather it presents
a difficult path that a mother must take to save her child. I thought
the author did a good job of showing how hard it was for Carly and
how brave she was to take it on.
I recommend this
book. It’s a beautiful story of love, family and sacrifice.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
