🌟🌟🌟1/2
Here is my disclosure, my son has a very similar congenital
heart defect to that being portrayed in the book so I read this book with a highly
critical and apprehensive eye and to be honest I really didn’t know if I could
read it anyway. Carly lives in Nags
Head, NC in 1970 when she learns from an experimental ultrasound that her baby
will have a fatal heart condition. Her
brother-in-law with whom she lives turns out to be a time-traveler from 2017
who helps her time travel to 2001 for her child to join a fetal surgery study
that may save her unborn child. I
actually really enjoyed the time travel aspect, although even though explained,
it still make more sense for her to travel to a later date to obtain more
experienced medical care. It was
interesting to read about someone experience some of our common technology that
we take for granted for the first time.
I’m still mixed on how the medical information was handled and I don’t
know if I have a clear opinion. I did
google several items that we did not experience in our journey but I was too afraid
of falling down an internet black hole to do comprehensive research. Overall,
this is a well-written, interesting book that just may not have been the
best choice for me to read. I received
an ARC of this book through BookishFirst in exchange for an honest review.
