‘Through Each Tomorrow’ Book Review
Once again, I found myself picking up in the middle of a series, and once again, I absolutely loved it! Gabrielle Meyer balanced her characters and time periods with poise and intrigue in this historical romance novel.
Main Themes
Charles and Andrew both feel the weight of caring for their families in both time periods. When they discover they occupy the same timestream (one life in the 1880s and the other life in the 1560s), they team up with schemes built on half truths and outright lies. In the 1880s, the consequence of discovery is humiliation. In the 1560s, the consequence is death. Charles knows he should trust that God will work everything out, but he keeps taking matters into his own hands. Both characters are torn between duty to their families and pursuing the women they love. Responsibility weighs heavy as they wrestle with seemingly impossible situations.
Caring for family is so important, and it was a masterfully written, biblical theme in Through Each Tomorrow. Especially when he is a time crosser, a young man cannot in good conscience bind himself to his wife and fully devote himself to her unless his family is first taken care of.
Faith Elements
The characters encourage each other in their faith, and Charles wrestles with trusting God when his life feels out of control. With so much responsibility to balance against pursuing the desires of his heart, I appreciated how Charles recognized that caring for his family was more important than his own desires. That is rarely a popular message in a modern, individualist culture, but demonstrates a biblical perspective of humility and selflessness that is admirable. While the Gospel message was not outright preached, the character displayed godly characters and faith in action.
The novel also showed the dangers of lying and getting caught up in schemes that are based in falsehood. While there are plenty of humorous moments along the way, Charles and Andrew discover that lying is more dangerous than either of them could have imagined.
Family Friendly Considerations
This is a fantastic novel for young adults and older adults who are looking for a sweet time-travel novel with a dash of romance and sprinkling of danger. Through Each Tomorrow receives our family friendly seal of approval and is approved for all audiences!
