Braving Strange Waters by Sarah Hanks

Wow, this is different! It's time-slip and time travel, so both contemporary and historical. Three college friends go on a cruise together. One of them is in an elevator and is taken to 1856, to a steamboat in the middle of the Kansas/Missouri conflict before the Civil War. She has a mission to complete and is able to have help from her old friends via a mailbox on the ship as well as now present abolitionist acquaintances. Very real, very interesting and unpredictable as all three girls learn new faith lessons, learn to grow in their faith and in their lives in a meaningful way. Tough to put down!

From the back cover:

Stella Lindy is supposed to be soaking up the sunshine with her bridesmaids on a bachelorette cruise to Hawaii. But when she hits the wrong button on the elevator, the glamorous luxury of the modern ship is replaced with the Missouri River steamboat Arabia filled with strangers—and a mysterious doctor informs her it is 1856.

Communicating through an antique mailbox, her friends on the cruise try to guide her back home before the steamboat sinks, but Stella finds herself caught in a tangled web between pro-slavery Border Ruffians and anti-slavery Jayhawkers. Standing up for what’s right in the face of peril and uncertainty might mean never making it home.

Braving Strange Waters is a riveting time-slip novel with memorable characters, exciting twists, and rich internal conflict that fans of Gabrielle Meyer will love.

The Legacy of Longdale Manor by Carrie Turansky

I liked the way the author worded it: "comfort and wisdom can be passed on to those the Lord brings into our lives, and fatherhood, forgiveness, and holding on to your faith through painful times are lessons throughout this great story." Nicely transitions through the timeslips between great-great grandmother and daughter. They have a lot in common. Both of their journeys are heartfelt and touching. Great read!

When Stone Wings Fly by Karen Barnett

Well written story of a family rooted in the Smoky Mountain Park. They were of the original families who lived there before the park took over their land. Goes back and forth between Rosie who lived there to Kiernan who was looking for her family's roots, especially the stone bird that her failing Gran wanted her to go there and find. Keeps you hooked as she uncovers their story. Deep love and excruciating pain for these people as it unfolds, for those in present day as well as the past. I felt frustrated near the conclusion, but it all worked out ok. Some good wisdom, good Christian lessons from those who are looked at as "simple mountain folks." Hard lives, hard lessons.
