I typically do not read genres like this story. However, I am glad that I gave this book a chance. It was a wonderful read.

This novella is another occurrence which happens to Emma while she’s deciding what she will do with her life, and which could help her find the path that would satisfy her ambitions and bring her happiness. Although this is a shorter story than Reiss’s usual, it’s quite intriguing and shocking, and I enjoyed it. Emma's life since her accident has certainly changed and her experiences have been very unusual and interesting, to say the least. I’m looking forward to book 4.

This short book tells us how Emma is worried about her future life. I comes between the other two books. Suddenly she is given a little girl to care for as her mother has been murdered & she saw it happen. The little girl refuses to speak, but, gradually Emma gets her to relax & trust her & Ghost the wonderful dog is also a great help. Cannot say much more as I don’t want to give anything away!

A superbly written, beautifully crafted love story. Ms. Reiss knows how to pull on our heartstrings as few others can. If you have not read Diaries In Time or Letters In Time I urge you to do so. You have no idea what you are missing out on. Outstanding and Very Highly Recommended.

Short and sweet

Emma continues to heal from her accident. First physically, now for her confidence.
TJ is still there to help her but this time it's a little girl who teaches the kindergarten teacher.

Stillness in time

The story was as good as all Ms. Reiss's books
She has the talent to include history and fiction to keep the reader guessing. Enjoyed this read very much.
