Book Synopsis
Grace and Hope are identical twin sisters born with the ability to time-cross together between 1692 in 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
For a Lifetime tells the story of twin sisters Grace and Hope, who navigate two different timelines: Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 and New York City in 1912. Grace is the kind-hearted sister, while Hope is more adventurous and headstrong. They experience a day in New York, then suddenly find themselves waking up in Salem the next day, and then the switch happens again. In Salem, the tension of the witch trials looms large, making both sisters eager to escape that time. When they turn 25, they face the choice of which life to pursue and which to leave behind. In 1912, Grace works as a reporter, and Hope is an actress chasing her dream of becoming one of the first female pilots. The intertwining of these timelines is both captivating and easy to follow, even for those who haven’t read the earlier books in the series.
Grace and Hope share a deep connection that is tested throughout the story. They uncover not just truths about each other but also important insights about their own desires and motivations. This Christian historical fiction is well-crafted with a plot that keeps readers engaged, and it handles themes of faith beautifully.
The author skillfully creates emotional connections between the readers and the characters. There are unexpected twists that catch you off guard, yet you sense something surprising is on the horizon. The historical research behind the story is evident and impressive, adding depth to the narrative. The author's notes at the end were an enjoyable bonus. Readers will be drawn into the drama and heartache of Grace and Hope’s experiences. I look forward to diving into the other books in this series, confident they will be just as engaging as For a Lifetime.
