I read this book a year ago. It was one of my first self published book I read that I loved.
Tara's style reminded me a lot of Charlaine Harris' in the way her protagonist talks. She is lively and real. You can almost feel Emma come alive under Tara's magic fingers. The surroundings are also well described, without being overly done, so it is easy to follow the story and imagine yourself right in it.
(I pray our world doesn't turn that way in the future? Who wants to be a zoo 'animal'? Certainly not me!)
That said, I am a sucker for time travel stories and this one sure hit the spot. I have to admit that at some point I wondered where the story would lead us—could it get even better or would I slowly fall down to Earth? It did not let me down. I was drawn into the pods with Emma. Once or twice I felt like slapping her so she would wake up and open her eyes to what, us the readers, could clearly see. I even shed a few tears, which I did not expect at all.
Overall, a very good read that I would recommend to anyone who likes the genre (and even to those who are not sure about it.)

This would make a wonderful movie.
