My Review

Time or Tide depicts a heartwarming tale of sisterly love and the bravery to do what is right. It articulates the importance of staying authentic to oneself while honoring commitments. 

Deborah, a resilient woman devoted to her loved ones, puts their needs above her own happiness. When her sister makes a request that puts her heart and mind at odds, Deborah, known for her selfless nature, faces a dilemma. Will she sacrifice her shot at happiness, or will she find fulfillment in unexpected love? Set in 1842 Dundee, Scotland, this novel, based on true events, will inspire, arouse strong emotions, and make you contemplate the lengths one can go to find inner peace; even at the cost of abandoning personal hopes and dreams.

 Unlike traditional romances, this unique story will keep readers emotionally invested in Deborah's journey and her relationships with those she loves.
