Across the Ages is the fourth book in the Timeless series. While there are some references to previous characters in the series and there may be a few spoilers to such, this could probably be enjoyed as a standalone as well. That said, it's a wonderful series and absolutely worth reading in its entirety.

With each additional book in this series, I am absolutely astounded... not only by Gabrielle Meyer's fantastic storytelling abilities, but also how each book---while all dealing with time-crossers who will ultimately have to choose one time--- feels like a completely unique and exciting story. In this story, Caroline is living in 1727 and 1927. One of the things that sets her story apart is that she does not have someone in her life to help navigate being a time-crosser and what that truly means. At the start of the story, she believes that she is the only of her kind... but when she finds a letter from her mother in 1727, she finds herself posing as a cabin boy on a pirate ship to seek answers. Pirates and prohibition!? What's not to love about these two drastically different lives she is leading? I really loved the romance in this story... but I have to say my favorite aspect was truly the message of God's grace and redemption that it offers. This is a theme that we see carried out so beautifully across both timelines. Caroline's parents in 1927 were such a wonderful example of practicing what you preach, and I just found myself loving everything about this book so much. While I have enjoyed absolutely every single book in this series, this is definitely a new favorite for me and one that absolutely cannot be missed.

ACROSS THE AGES is the fourth novel in the Timeless series by GABRIELLE MEYER and it rounds off the series very well. I like the way the author brings in famous people and historical events and has based some of her characters on real people.
In 1727 Caroline Reed lives with her grandfather Josias on his plantation in South Carolina. She runs away when she is about to be forced to marry the governot’s unpleasant son. She ends up on a pirate ship while she is trying to get to Nassau to find her mother, who is also a time-crosser. She wants to find out more about what time-crossing entails, not knowing what to make of her two lives…….
In 1927 she is the daughter of a famous preacher who is a strong prohibitionist. She is Caroline Baldwin in this life. Her father and mother have a strong marriage and her mother supports her husband in his work.Caroline has a beautiful voice and sings at her father’s outreaches. She is very worried about her brothers’ bad behaviour and the effect it will have on the family ministry, and things get worse when she realizes her mother, Anne Reed, is alive in her second life which started in 1913. Now she has chance to find her and get her questions answered…….
The story is very exciting as we follow Caroline in her two lives, wondering which life she will choose to stay in on her 21st birthday. The Christian message of trusting God for His plans, of forgiveness and redemption is very strong.
I recommend Across the Ages as an enjoyable and interesting read.
