Publisher's summary

Alone and bereft, Louisa makes the fateful decision to follow her sister into the 17th century. But, the best laid plans often go awry and she finds herself on the wrong continent, and in the wrong year. Louisa must cross the Atlantic to get to Virginia, hoping that Valerie is still there in 1620, and face the uncertainty of her situation as she makes the dangerous journey to the New World.

Meanwhile, Valerie is facing troubles of her own. She must discover the truth about the men in her family in order to save her marriage and solve a possible murder.

Will the two sisters reunite, or will they pass like ships in the night, never knowing how close they had come to finding each other?

Always wonderful storytelling

Having listened to the first book in the series I was anticipating the second. This one was just as entertaining. I’m a fan of the 17th century and of anything Irina Shapiro writes. Her stories are mesmerizing. I look forward to the next one in the series!

Fun!

I quite enjoyed this book. I liked the first and this one didn't disappoint, as some sequels can. It has good pace, good characters and you find yourself truely carry about them. The narration was clear,, easy to listen to and really got into her characters. Can't wait for the next one.

Wonderful as usual!

I loved the continuation of this story. I was so happy to see how it concluded. I’m starting to wonder if you’re a time traveler. Your descriptions are on mark. Can’t wait to read your next book!

Good!

This book was just good to me, not great, like most of Irina's other books. It had a bit of a slow start...it took a few chapters to really get into the story, but worth it, not quite the thrilling adventure of the first book, but a good story with a few twists and turns! Great characters and quite a few surprises but ends in a cliffhanger...off to start the next book!
Fiona Small as the narrator was OK, not great but good, and better than a few other books I have listened to!

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review forIrina Shapiro Author Leap of Faith

🎧🎧Narrated by FIONA SMALL🎧🎧

I loved the hands of time so I was so excited for Louisa’s story. Following your sister back to the 1600’s is the ultimate in sisterly love.
Louisa ends up in the wrong year with an ocean between her and Valerie. What follows is a journey in love both for Louisa and Kit but also Louisa and her long lost sister Valerie. ♥️♥️♥️

Time travel at its best!

Exciting continuation of the previous book in the series.. keeps you on the edge of your seat to see if the sisters reunite... this author never disappoints in weaving a tale that draws you in and keeps you hooked to the end and sad when you reach the last page... wanting more!!!
