In 1970, Carly Sears, a young widow from the Vietnam War, received the devastating news that her unborn baby girl has a heart defect with no cure.

However, her brother-in-law physicist proposes a solution that challenges Carly's preconceived beliefs about time.

With his help, Carly time travels so her child can be part of this experimental surgery.

Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but Carly will do anything to save her daughter.

This historical fiction novel has a surprisingly grounded time travel aspect, approaching the time travel trope with believability, as it fractures relationships with those she left behind.

Searle's version of time travel is light and frothy without a repeating loop sequence, but just a single vision that imagines a different world for our main character in five years.

Dannie Kohan has always been a planner. She lives by the numbers and never strays from her carefully laid path.

So when her job interview goes just as planned, and she accepts her boyfriend's marriage proposal, she knows she is on track to achieve those five-year goals.

But that very successful evening, Dannie had a vivid vision of herself in five years, and her imagined future was turned upside down.

In this sequence, Dannie wakes up in a different apartment with a different engagement ring and a different man by her side.

The year is 2025, five years in the future, and Dannie doesn't even recognize her own life or the man she's with.

This is not a love story but one of great platonic love and the power of our deep, lasting friendships, which sustain us throughout our lives.

This book is a good choice for a reader who needs a quick win that will not ask a lot of you and will not take you too far into elaborate time travel dimensions.
