Lori Wolf-Heffner is the author of the young adult series Between Worlds and the sweet romance series Love on Belmont. She was an inaugural member of the Canadian National Tap Team, wrote and submitted a Star Trek novel in her teens (it was rejected—she needed an agent), and spent one day twice in Luxembourg and 15 minutes once in Switzerland. She can still do cartwheels.
The book is a great read from beginning to end. If you haven’t read the first four, don’t worry, the author gives you everything you need to catch up. But I do suggest taking the time to read the others!
It is a wonderful story with two timelines running chapter to chapter. In present time, Julianna’s relationship with her cousin, Sophie, begins to strengthen as they go on a hunt for a special photo. In the historical timeline, Elisabeth prepares for her confirmation, and starts to take on a more adult role in her family.
Wolf-Heffner has a real talent in her character development and in the writing itself. It’s not only a great read for the younger reader, but for anyone interested in family history and reading about their local area (Waterloo region) will enjoy this book, as well as the others in the series.
