Time and Again

Book 1 in the History Mystery Series

De: Deborah Heal

Narrado por: Michelle Babb

An old house + A new computer program = The travel opportunity of a lifetime...to another century.

Abby Thomas is spending the summer in a run-down old house with a bratty pre-teen named Merrideth she is supposed to tutor. Not a dream job. But it does come with perks.

There's John Roberts, a devastatingly attractive neighbor who is almost too wonderful to be real.

And there's the new computer program Beautiful Houses--also too amazing to be real. No one knows how it works, but with it she can rewind and fast-forward the lives of all the people who ever lived in the house, including Charlotte Miles.

In 1858, the house is a train stop on the Alton & Chicago Line. And Charlotte is stuck there serving meals to the passengers, wondering if she'll ever get to have any fun. And then she meets two travelers who change her life forever.

There's James McGuire with whom she falls in love. And there's his boss, a young Springfield lawyer named Abraham Lincoln. His debate with political opponent Stephen Douglas catapults him onto the national stage. And it inspires Charlotte to take up the cause of abolition.

The House

A stop on the Alton & Chicago Line. A stop on the Underground Railroad.

Watching the house's history unfold, Abby and Merrideth gain a new perspective on their own lives as time and again they see God's loving hand in the lives of its inhabitants.

Time and Again

"This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast."

This novel isn't exactly a time travel, more like a look back in history. It felt almost as if the characters were stalking the past. There were lessons for all to learn. I will read or listen to more from this author.


The narration was well done by Michelle Babb. The characters were excellently portrayed.

Unique Story with Dual Time Lines

Really interesting story with great historical references to the house where the family is living . . . took me a while to adjust to the narration, which could have been better . . . I love that the tutor that the mother hired for her daughter is a Christian and takes the time to share her faith. This is a fun listen, as well as educational. Technology, history and faith make for a unique combination and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Great start to this series!

This was a first for me by this author. The historical storyline mixed with the modern world was well written and the characters were easy to follow. Can’t wait to see what takes place. In book two

Michelle Babb did an excellent job narrating. She brings everyone of these stories to life.

New Age Time Travel

I really adored this well written and creative book. Deborah Heal was very inventive in tying in time travel to something as simple as something we use everyday. Michelle Babb did a fine job especially as the voice of Meridith the eleven year of little girl. I highly recommend this book just be aware of a few racial slurs. I received this book for free and this is my honest unbiased review.

a lot of positive elements

at first I thought I wouldn't like the main character but she grew on me. I, of course, like the setting as I am from the midwest. I like that they could see the past. it was a well developed story. I got this book from a contributor and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Good book

This was a good book even though it is not what I normally listen to. I do recommend it thought if you like the kind of book that you can travel back and forward in time.
