Margaret Hollingsworth inherited a gift from her time-crossing parents that allows her to live three separate lives in 1861 Washington D.C., 1941 Pearl Harbor, and 2001 Washington D.C.. Each night she goes to sleep in one time period and wakes up in another. Until she turns twenty-one, when she will have to forfeit two of those lives -- and everyone she knows in them -- forever. In 1861, Maggie is the daughter of a senator at the outbreak of the Civil War, navigating a capital full of Southern spies and wounded soldiers. In 1941, she is a navy nurse, grappling with her knowledge of the future when she joins a hospital ship going to Pearl Harbor. And in 2001, she's a brilliant young medical student, fulfilling her dream of becoming a surgeon. While Maggie has sworn off romance until she makes her final choice, an intriguing man tugs at her heart in each era, only complicating the impossible decision she must make, which looms ever closer. She faces a difficult journey to discover her true self, while drawn to three worthy gentlemen. With so much on the line, how can Maggie choose just one life to keep and the rest to lose?
This is book two in the series. I really don't like time travel books, but this is a time slipping book. I didn't think I would like it, but I am hooked on this series. The series continues with the children of the character from the last book. So, it is not a continuation of the same person, but the next generation and the time periods are different. I really enjoyed this one because the time periods were 1871, 1941 and 2001 which were very important times in war history. The author does a great job using real people as well as made up characters. She also makes sure they are historically accurate.
