Time Tree: The Emergence

by Lisa Rae Morris

Iris Jacobs wants to be taken seriously. She’s a newly minted college grad, ready to take on the world of historical research. What she finds instead is high rent and a job posting on a tacky flyer. Soon, she’s blowing bubbles while leading songs she doesn’t know, and calling BINGO games while breaking up fights between elderly dementia patients in a nursing home. She’s immersed in a world where you can’t believe a word anyone says.Except one man. There’s something different about him. Psychiatrists have declared him incompetent because, although he appears to be in his eighties, he claims to be a twenty-four year old master craftsman from Scotland. Strangest of all, his story checks out… about a hundred years too early. If Iris chooses to believe him, their unlikely alliance will test everything she believes about faith, love, friendship, and most of all, herself. Her quest to bring about his freedom will shake the very foundations of Time itself… and could cost her everything.

I was excited to see how the two worlds would come together, and it did not disappoint! I fell in love with all of the characters! I can’t wait to read the sequel!

Lisa Rae Morris is a family friend. She gave this book to my adult daughter (who pretty much only reads books in the fantasy genre) who then gave it to me. I, on the other, do not typically enjoy or read fantasy (especially time travel!). It has languished at my house for a few months, until 4 days ago when I could no longer put off reading the book.

Well, much to my surprise, I REALLY enjoyed this book! This book has lots of themes and some really good lessons that we can all apply in our lives today. There is plenty of action, love interests and some really good chuckles. I am not sure if Lisa is super smart or if she did a lot of research for this story or both! The characters are well developed and the book moves at a quick pace. The only thing that sort of annoyed me was how much Iris giggled. It made her seem frivolous, when she is anything but.

I look forward to the next book in the series.

This book is adventurous, with some suspense, and laughter. Really gets you thinking and questions your own life and purpose. I encourage other to read through this book.
