For a Lifetime
by Gabrielle Meyer
Summary
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?
My Review
Gabrielle Meyer has delivered yet another stunning masterpiece with this book! This third installment in the series is just as beautifully written and deeply emotional as the first two books. While it took me a little longer to get fully immersed in this story, once I was in, I couldn’t put it down.
This time, the focus is on twin sisters navigating two historical timelines, each facing life-changing decisions about which time period to stay in and which love interest to choose. The dual timelines were crafted with incredible attention to detail, making each setting vivid and unforgettable.
What stood out most to me was the bond between the sisters. Their love for each other was so pure and sacrificial—it tugged at my heartstrings and left me in tears by the end. The way they supported and wanted the best for one another was incredibly moving. I was sobbing!!
Meyer’s ability to evoke raw emotion and create such unique and intricate time-travel stories is unmatched. This book had everything: romance, faith, history, and twists that left me both shattered and satisfied in the best way possible.
This book is more than just a story—it’s an experience that touches your heart, surprises you, and reminds you of the power of love, sacrifice, and faith. This series is truly one-of-a-kind, and I can’t recommend it enough. A rare gem to be cherished and shared! I can’t wait to continue in this series. I can’t recommend this enough!!
