Wow. I didn't know what to expect from this novel since the premise of time-crossing is so unique. I wasn't sure if it would feel too fantastical and hard to believe. But let me tell you, I shouldn't have worried one bit.

When the Day Comes is one of the most gripping, unpredictable historical novels I've ever read. I loved both time periods, colonial Williamsburg and Gilded Age America and England. Libby was a strong, smart, patient, and kind heroine who I rooted for entirely. Also, Henry was an amazing hero. I loved the intrigue surrounding him. The "time travel" was explained in a way that I could wholly "believe" in the story.

I cried for Libby, and I cheered for her. Honestly, this book took a toll on my emotions but in the best way.

This book will challenge your faith in a way that makes you want to depend on the Lord even more fully in your own life. The emphasis on God's will was inspiring.

The next book in this series can't come soon enough!

I have read a lot of dual time stories and enjoyed them, but never had I read one quite like this one. Libby lives in two worlds simultaneously, one in 1774 and the other in 1914. When she goes to sleep at night, she wakes up in another time, without any time passing. This was really intriguing. Many in her family had been time crossers. She will eventually have to decide which world to stay in because she can’t do this forever. She knows which world she wants to live in. But will it be the world she will choose?

Fascinating premise, this story was and the author does a very nice job with it. I know I was surprised several times. Recommended.

My thanks to Bethany House for a copy of this book via Net Galley. The review is my own opinion.

This book was hard to put down! For the most part, I enjoyed it, though I would warn that there is a trigger in the story when someone is raped. That said, the author does a wonderful job of taking a difficult situation and not trying to push it under the rug, but rather show how God can use our brokenness for His purposes. I can't wait to read the next book!

I read a few hundred books each year, and enjoy time-travel, historic fiction, and mysteries....this is a combination of all of the above, with a bit of romance thrown in, too. It's almost like reading two books at the same time - one set in Colonial Williamsburg and one set in WWI England - until they begin to intertwine toward the end. And the ending...oh my heart! There are so many different facets to this book; it could have been a hot mess, but author perfectly weaves together each and every one of them to create a masterpiece. I look forward to seeing what comes next in this series!
