A review by oashackelford
In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer
5.0
Maggie was born with the timecrosser birthmark in two places, so she can travel to three different lifetimes in time. One in 1861, one in 1941, and one in 2001. Of course she will have to choose by the time she is 21.
in 1861 Maggie lives with her Papa on the eve of the Civil war. With her medical knowledge from the future, she does what she can to save as many soldiers as she is allowed. In 1941 she is a nurse just before the United States is about to enter into World War two. Finally, in 2001 she is a medical student about to graduate and become a doctor, just before September of that year. Like her mother and father before her, she will need to decide which path is right for her, and forfeit the other two, but with loving parents, important work, and potential loves in all three timelines, how can she possibly be expected to choose?
I loved this one so much more than the first one even. I thought maybe the premise of the book would get boring, seeing as it is essentially the same as the first book, but having foreknowledge of the historical events heightens the various scenes as Maggie tackles each one in turn. I also love that the author didn't use the same twist as the first book, that kept it fun and exciting.
