I am reviewing a copy of When the Day Comes through Bethany House and Netgalley:



If you’re looking for a novel that moves seamlessly through two separate time lines, I highly recommend When the Day Comes Through!




Libby has been given the gift to live I two different times, one in 1774 Colonial Williamsburg and the other in 1914 Gilded Age New York City. When she falls asleep in one life, she wakes up in the other. While she's the same person at her core in both times, she's leading two vastly different lives.






While she is in Colonial Williamsburg, Libby is a public printer for the House of Burgesses and the Royal Governor, trying to provide for her family and support the Patriot cause. The man she loves, Henry Montgomery, has his own secrets. As the revolution draws near, both their lives and any hope of love--are put in jeopardy.





In 1914 Libby’s life is full wealth, drawing room conversations, and bachelors. But the only work she cares about women's suffrage--is discouraged, and her mother is intent on marrying her off to an English marquess. The growing talk of war in Europe only complicates matters.




Libby knows she's not destined to live two lives forever. On her twenty-first birthday, she must choose one path and forfeit the other but how can she choose when she has so much to lose in each life?




I give When the Day Comes five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
