Yesterday's Hopes

A Slip in Time, Book 2

By: Jane O'Brien

Narrated by: Belinda Lams

Yesterday's Hopes, book two in O'Brien's newest series, A Slip in Time, continues with Dora trying to find her sister. As she becomes aware of the possibility of time travel, she begins to explore how she, too, can do the same in order to find Fran.

Dora suspects her sister is in the 1880s due to some clues she left behind, so she tries to imitate the way she believes Francine has traveled using their grandmother's precious quilts, which have been passed down through generations.

When Dora suddenly finds herself standing on the boardwalk at the train depot in Twin Lake, she is thrilled to discover that she has done it. Now she must find her sister, and bring her back home. The problem arises when Dora meets a handsome man with a crooked grin who has his eye set on her. He won't give up until he makes her his own. Once Dora begins to fall for him, she loses all focus of going back to the 21st century.

Now the two sisters must decided if they want to live in this pioneer setting with the men they love or return to a more comfortable lifestyle. The decision is agony but it must be made.

Good story, good narration, but a bit sappy

it was a good story but I found myself skippping past some of the sappy parts. Still good enough 5o continue the series.

Such a great story!

Book 2 did not disappoint!! This series is incredible! You will not be disappointed you started it!!!

I am so addicted to this series.

Historical details are rich in this story. Jane O'Brien weaves in so many of the nuances of a bygone era. I can't wait to get to the next book in this series!

very impressed with the series!

I've been blubbering like a idiot over these books! My husband keeps looking at me crazy b/c I've been crying over these stories. true love & true life (except the time travel)

Yesterdays hopes

It was interesting sort of like a hallmark story but each book leaves you hanging so you have to read the next one to find out what's next

I can't believe I read book 2

I did a very critical review of Book 1. I had already purchased several of the books (through book 5 I think) so as not to waste my money, I listened. I still do not like Belinda Lams performance. She can't keep her characters voices straight, frequently making one sound like the other. I also think the sex is too much for the 1800's so it makes the book seem even more unbelievable. Dora (younger sister) is especially annoying as she is deeply in love with Wade one moment and then decides she can't stay in the 1800's and oh yes... there's someone back there that she was getting close to. Really?? That came out of nowhere!! Which is one of my biggest complaints with the writing. Details are added out of nowhere and brought into the story as an afterthought. And yes, I'm still going to read the next one.
