After 16 years, Corina's father comes home from his Red Cross role in China. But he comes home in a casket. Corina has never met her father. Her entire life she has been told how brave and heroic her father is. However, Corina doesn't feel this way. She holds a grudge. And when her mother breaks down after the funeral, all of Corina's feelings begin suffocating her. Then a mysterious man appears offering Corina the opportunity to get to know her father. Corina accepts the offer and is whisked back in time in order to get to know her dad.
This book offers a fresh, unique plot that I thought would completely captivate my attention. Yet, as I was reading I found myself getting distracted and doing other things. It honestly doesn't make much sense because there is a ton of action in this book. Corina literally jumps from one dangerous situation to another; yet, I wasn't involved. I felt very little connection to Corina or Luther. If anything I felt pity for Luther. This poor guy goes through some extremely scary and difficult situations. I don't know what was missing. But it needed something I just cannot point out what. Overall I found myself not really caring one way or another. Maybe it is because I knew in the back of my mind that there would be no changing of fates. So perhaps I prevented myself from attaching to the characters. Ultimately, there is a beautiful message here. A message that stresses the importance of standing up for those that cannot protect themselves and the importance of hope.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this title and the opportunity to review it.
