Past Times #1
Where Time Will Take Me
Stand up for what is right, no matter the cost.
In 1868, Justine Braden’s grandmother charged her with the task of standing up for what was right—no matter the cost. As a child of ten. Justine didn’t understand what Granny meant. Now, ten years later, Justine leads a frivolous life as a New York socialite. She doesn’t have to deal with issues of right and wrong. Or sacrifice.
Not yet.
For unbeknownst to Justine, generations of the women of her family share a secret that is revealed to them when they are twenty. They can travel through time. Such a gift presents them with a great purpose, one that is far beyond their imagining.
The gift is given, but it can be declined. Or ignored. Or embraced. If a woman is strong enough, brave enough, and noble enough, the gift will facilitate justice and change many lives for the better.
Join Justine on her journey from a fickle girl into a woman of great purpose and potential.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
This is a very different type of book than I usually read, and I liked it very much! I first want to say I don’t believe a person can go back in time like Justine did. But for the purpose of the story, I did get caught up very quickly in thee present day as well and the historical events.
The story has several situations that stood out to me. First, Justine was living the life as the wealthy daughter of a Banker, with all of the perks of society, until both her parents died. After her mom passed away, Justine was forced to go back to the small town of Piedmont for the funeral. After being there for a few days, even her boyfriend could talk her into going back to NY. I appreciate the way Ms. Moser shows that money and society is not what it seams, and the simple life is a much happier life. And the second thing, money and riches sometimes comes from greed and cheating people, and in this story, I’m glad the evil person loses.
Where Time Will Take Me is a very well written story full of historical events and history. If you enjoy time travel stories, or if you are like me and this is a new type of story for you, I highly recommend this book to you! I’m just know you will be back to read books two and three if this series. And one more thing, be sure to read the Author’s Notes at the end of the book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the history behind this story.

Wonderful story!
I really enjoyed Justine’s journey not only out of her comfort zone, but out of her present time. Her sense of purpose gave her courage to face many obstacles. She could’ve gone ‘back to Egypt,’ but she took ‘leaps of faith’ into the unknown instead. Can’t wait to read the other two books!

I thought it was a great book and look forward to the sequel. Funny thing I noticed while reading this book, my blood pressure went down! Not sure if they are related but the entire week it took me to read this book my blood pressure was back to normal levels. Seems like it had an effect on my life.

So good!!! Justine felt like a best friend, who you could laugh with and relate with. This books is basically Christian historical fiction, with mystery and fantasy genres added to it. One of my new favorite books!!!!

This book surprised me. The characters weren't fully fleshed out, in my opinion, but I did read the whole story because I couldn't figure out what would happen and what the main character, Justine's past would reveal.

Edge of your seat read
I couldn't put this book down. Very good mystery and I am not a big fan of mysteries. But I loved the edge of my seat feeling in reading this time. Highly recommend!

Maybe a 2.5. I liked how the story started and drew me in, but it wrapped up too nicely and was not really believable.

This is one of the first Nancy Moser books that I didn’t care for.

Fun story
I enjoyed reading this book, it was good, clean, well written, interesting story from the 1800s. It is definitely worth a read.

This is the first time traveling book that I enjoyed. I enjoyed how the author wove the Christian belief with the idea of time traveling.
