Time Watcher

Mine Through Time, Book 1

By: Kate Serzenta

Narrated by: Teralyn Davis

New York City, 1862.

Fabienne Beaumont lies bleeding in a filthy alleyway. Desperate to escape the bloody War of Rebellion, she and her siblings had been trying to hustle passage back home to their native France. Instead, she fell victim to a card shark's bullets. As everything fades to black, Fabienne thumbs the hands of her old pocket watch—unaware that she's about to awaken from one nightmare straight into another.

Hartford, Connecticut, 1864.

Two years earlier, Union war hero Brayden Marshall married the beautiful Fabienne—but she's been like a stranger to him ever since. Everything changes, however, when he's summoned back to Hartford on a mission for The Watchers—a secret society that can harness the power of time travel. It's like meeting Fabienne for the first time all over again. She's passionate, curious, and desperate to right the wrongs of her past. Could the mysterious pocket watch she clings to explain the sudden change in Fabienne's behavior? And if so, can Brayden risk his future on a woman so obsessed with her past?

Savannah, Georgia, 2008.

Spirited high-schooler Emily Willburne reluctantly researches her family history for a Civil War assignment when she stumbles across the diary of her great, great grandmother, Fabienne. The diary claims to contain the secret of traveling through time—a secret Emily believes could save her dying mom, and rebuild her fractured relationship with her estranged father. But as Emily literally steps into her own history, a new possibility emerges—that the only way to reunite her family in the present is to tear Fabienne and Brayden's marriage apart in the past.

Does Emily have the power to fix what once went wrong? Or will she tear apart her future, instead?

Time Watcher is an intricately woven, clockwork-tight tale of time travel and romance—perfect for fans of Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife and Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.

Beautiful story!

I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from a YA time-travel romance, but this book gripped me and took me for a wild ride! Kate’s story had me on the edge of my seat multiple times, and the romantic aspect is sweet and refreshing. Teralyn did a remarkable job with the narration, especially considering the fact that she did it solo.

Amazing!!!!!

I loved the performance and the story so so much!!! It will be one of those I listen to again and again!!!
