I absolutely adore this series! Two iconic eras with two time traveling twins captured my imagination and didn't let go. With two previous time crossing novels, I was impressed by how the author made this story unique and added another fun, exciting, fresh aspect to the series. Grace and Hope have inherited the birthmark which marks them as time crossers. When they go to sleep in 1692, Salem, Massachusetts, they wake up in 1912, New York and vice versa. They'll experience this time crossing until their 25th birthday when they'll have to decide which time period they'll stay in permanently.

In 1692, Salem, the infamous witch trials have begun and Grace & Hope are right in the center of them. Their father's decided to remarry which changes everything, especially when rumors about their mother resurface. While the sisters endure 1692 until they can chose 1912 permanently, Grace finds herself in love with Isaac, a handsome farmer. But, Isaac only has eyes for Hope. Can she win his heart or will she be forced to leave her unrequited love?

In 1912, Hope's an actress who wants to be the first American woman to pilot an aeroplane across the English Channel. Grace is also breaking records as a female journalist for the New York Globe. Hope's flight instructor is the dashing, famous French pilot Lucas Voland whom she's in love with. As she risks her life to make history, Grace is there to cover it. But, while Hope has her sights on Luc, he has his on someone else.

Hope & Grace were aptly named. Grace's the epitome of patience, kindness and grace. She tends to be overshadowed by her twin and often acquiesces to her desires. Hope's stubborn, fearless, and tends to get her way. I loved the growth these sisters experience as Grace learns to think beyond Hope's wishes and Hope grows in faith, humility, and selflessness. Their unique, thrilling love stories and adventures are filled with twists & turns. I was on pins and needles wondering what would happen next!

Both time periods the twins experienced are interesting. I've always been fascinated by the 1692 Salem Witch Trials & this story not only captured the mystery & fervor of that turbulent time but also added a new historical layer I hadn't heard of before. I also enjoyed 1912 which was iconic for several amazing historical events. I loved the way the author captured the thrill of flying with Hope whose character was based on actual female pilot, Harriet Quimby. Don't miss the historical notes at the end for more information.

Highest of recommendations for this romantic, suspenseful, faith-filled story! I can't wait for the next book in the series! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author and publisher. All opinions are my own and voluntarily provided.

Grace and Hope are twins who have inherited the ability to time travel between two different time periods. On their twenty-fifth birthday, they must choose one place, and stay there permanently.

One life is in 1692, during the Salem witch trials. Their family is right in the middle of it, but the sisters will put their own lives in peril if they speak against it. Hope and Grace live hard lives where they must carry out the orders of their stern father. A mystery surrounds the death of their mother. Despite their restrictions, they try to uncover the truth.

Their other life is in 1912, where Hope is part of the airplane interest that is sweeping the country. Hope loves to fly, and is fearless. She wants to be one of the first American women to pilot a plane. Grace has an exciting, but sometimes dangerous, job as an investigative journalist.

Grace and Hope are working together to save their parents' orphanage, they are willing to take life-threatening chances to do so.

The sisters have agreed that they will both pick the same time-period so they can live out their lives together. That is, until something unforeseen happens.

The reader will be drawn into this exciting story, the twists and turns will cement their interest even more. This is part of a series, but each story stands on its own, and all involve time-travel, and the character's faith. Fans of history, time-travel, and amazing stories will especially like this five-star book.

Thank you, Bethany House, for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own.

*That God would love me, that He would call me His child and choose me for this time-crossing gift was amazing to contemplate. It was a burden, to be sure, but it was also a blessing.*
Grace and Hope Eaton are twins with different personalities. But their bond is so strong that they vow to stay together no matter what. Living in two different times is extremely difficult because in one timeframe they live in Salem Village in 1692 during the witch trials. They get a respite in the other timeline in 1912 where Hope is adventurous and learns to fly an airplane, while Grace makes strides as a journalist for a New York newspaper.
Their love lives are problematic as each one pines for a man who does not return their affections. But how can they marry before their 25th birthday, when they are to choose which time period to remain in for the rest of their days?
Lots of twists, turns and danger await them as well as unexpected meetings with people who are connected to them. And underlying it all is an abiding faith that knows God is in control of their lives.
This was another fascinating offering in a unique time-crossing setting that will astonish you and at the same time take you captive with its imaginative storylines.

These books always astound me! I will admit that I am a fan of time travel stories, so I was intrigued by the premise of these books right away. The protagonists always have a special “time crossing” gift: born with a special mark indicating a person as a “time crosser,” the marked person lives a double life, each in a different time period, but only until a specific birthday, on which day the character must choose only one time period to live in for the rest of their lives. See? The premise alone is fascinating and exciting. And every single book is masterfully done and woven together in such a way as to allow the characters to learn and grow, for maximum adventure and intrigue, and for the tug of each timeline to become incredibly taut. And this book followed the pattern incredibly! For a Lifetime is a little different in that there are twin girls who each bear the time crossing mark. Having twins with a deep connection really raised the stakes and the intensity on this one. There a good number of twists and turns and a couple of surprises. I thought I had figured out where things would go, but every single one of my guesses ended up being wrong. Every. Single. One. I only sort of figured out one thing. This one will kept me guessing and wondering from page one. Grace and Hope are as different as two sisters can be, but their bonds is indelible. I loved Hope’s tenacity and fire for life, and Grace’s quiet confidence and fierce loyalty. I loved their sister bond and the integral role that played in the story. I loved their relationships with their 1912 parents, and how much they valued family. Hope was a bit impetuous, and Grace a little over-cautious. But they both learned important things and became better people because of their willingness to learn from their trials. I really loved the heavier Christian themes in this one. The previous two books contained faith themes as well, but I feel like this one went a little deeper, and I loved that. I loved that both Grace and Hope had to learn to trust God in different ways, and the emphasis on God’s plan being better than our own was beautiful. But I also thought Gabrielle did a wonderful job in illustrating how sometimes God’s plan is a harder in the beginning, and that mourning the loss of our own plans is normal and okay. It’s very well done. I was completely hooked on this one from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. The settings vary from opposite coasts of the United States to parts of Europe. The cast of secondary characters is broad, but not confusingly so. They all round out the story so well, particularly a couple of love interests whose names I will not mention. If you enjoy Christian fiction, time travel, dual timeline, or historical fiction, I’d recommend picking up these books. They just get better and better and this book is proof of that. It’s my favorite of the series by far. Give them a try! They do not disappoint. **TW/CW (contains some spoilers): This book covers the Salem witch trials, so there are some difficult subjects, including accusing others (sometimes falsely) of witchcraft and mention of hangings; death; aero plane stunts and accident; postpartum mother death; unmarried pregnancy; spouse abandonment; parental apathy and dismissal **Thanks to Bethany House and Austen Prose for the copy. All thoughts are my own.
