Across the Ages

By Gabrielle Meyer

Book Overview

Caroline holds a deep secret. Existing in 1727 and 1927 simultaneously, each night she goes to sleep in one life and wakes up in the other. Searching for answers to her unique existence, Caroline stumbles upon a letter from her mother that hints at her own experiences as a time-crosser, sending Caroline on a quest to uncover the truth. In 1727, chasing the mysteries of her mother's past, Caroline disguises herself as a cabin boy and joins a ship sailing for the Bahamas, her mother's last known location. Amid treacherous waters, she crosses paths with Marcus Zale, a ruthless but handsome pirate, and finds herself caught in a web of secrets, deception, and unexpected alliances.

Meanwhile, in 1927 St. Paul, Minnesota, Caroline grapples with her other life as the daughter of a renowned preacher. Her two older brothers have strayed from their upbringing into the corruption rampant during Prohibition, and Caroline struggles to protect her parents from the truth that could shatter her father's career. As her search for answers about her time-crossing leads her to the dangerous speakeasies of St. Paul, Caroline enlists the help of police officer Lewis Cager, a childhood friend. But when her family's future is put at risk and loyalties are tested, Caroline is faced with a life-altering decision that could reshape her destiny.

another fantastic time-crossing adventure

“None are so far gone that they can’t find their way back. ’Tis the beauty of grace and forgiveness.” Gabrielle Meyer never ceases to amaze me. With each new book in the series, I am awed by her creativity and richness of history and character she weaves together to produce a masterful tapestry of adventure, hope, and faith. This book was a little different from the others because Caroline did not have a mentor to guide her in time crossing. Her confusion, both in 1727 and 1927, in not understanding who she was created to be and not being able to fully embrace her identity broke my heart. Her spunk, grit, tenacity, loyalty, and compassion in both timelines made her a lovable heroine. Learning about piracy in Atlantic Ocean during 1720s and spiritual revival during Prohibition was fascinating. I also appreciated just one love interest since I’m not a fan of love triangles. It was pretty clear which timeline Caroline would choose by the middle of the book but the twists and turns in both timelines were mind-blowing and incredible. The tangible faith, forgiveness, and grace embedded into both timelines were uplifting and encouraging. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!
