It is 1970 in North Carolina, and the main character, Carly, has not only lost her husband to the Vietnam war, but has just been told the baby she is expecting has a major heart defect and will not survive long after birth. Carly is offered a chance to save her baby's life, but it will require her to suspend her fear and disbelief and step into the unknown.
I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, I liked most of the characters and I could identify with the lengths a mother would go to save or protect her child. On the other hand, I found it hard to suspend my own disbelief. If time travel was as it is described in this book there would be people disappearing into portals all the time! There were also a couple of times when Carly seemed to make choices that were out of her character and more about fitting the plot of the book. I enjoyed the various references to the seventies. I gave this book 3 stars.
