About this listen

In 1953, a mother's routine drive home is transformed into a time-travel odyssey when the light from a mysterious spacecraft hurls her and her car to 2023, setting in motion a series of extraordinary events and a life-and-death decision.

On a serene night in 1953, Sally Mason, a dedicated wife and mother of two, drives a twisting road on her way home from night school. Suddenly, a mysterious bluish-white light descends over the road.

Terrified, Sally slams on the brakes. After a flash of bright light nearly blinds her, she passes out, awakening to the persistent knock of a police officer on her car window. When she sees the officer and remembers her frightening experience, she screams and faints, and is rushed to the hospital.

What Sally does not know, and what the police eventually and reluctantly conclude, is that Sally and her car have been hurled ahead in time from 1953 to 2023.

Driven by the urgency to reunite with her children, Sally is forced to confront the reason for her time leap journey and to grapple with a life-and-death decision.

My husband gifted me with this book on audible and I'm so happy he did. I really enjoyed the story. I fell in love with the main character, and the other characters were well done also. I found it exciting and a little bit romantic, with the right mix of human emotions and science.

Great story!

This was an unusual type of book for me, but I liked it. It’s on the lighter side, but has great characters with good story.

Remarkably enjoyable SciFi

These days too many authors tries so hard to over spin a story, tying to hard to surprise and shock us readers. This simple story was little different in a good way. Glad I brought it.

A beautiful simple story

I paid $2.99 for this delightful story. I don't normally review stories, but this one deserves to be read/heard. I will say that the "sci-fi" is simplistic and a bit corny. You get to know characters that appear and then never show again. And it's overcomplicated. But it was very enjoyable. The narrator is excellent, the protagonist is easy to identify and empathize with, and there is a happy ending for everyone. Even the aliens. Give it a chance.

Best value I've ever found on Audible!

This was a pretty cute story. Not much brain strain. Good pallet cleanser after a heavy book. I liked the characters for the most part. Had some interesting takes on time travel, alien races, and the space time continuum... but nothing too abstract or hard to grasp. I could see this as a netflix movie or limited series.

cutesy sci fi

Once I started I couldn't stop. Listened all night napped then started again. I'm new to this author & narrator and now a fan. Great characters and of course we all know the government is holding aliens 👽 🤣 definitely credit worthy. Enjoy!👽🛸

Fantastic Story!!!!!🛸👽

It starts one way where nobody believes in time travel and it's inconceivable and then flips into every science fiction trope ever. It's not a bad story but I'd have expected it to retain it's character in one form or the other.

Decent story but flips character half way through

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The story, the narrator, and the whole idea drew me in. Comparing the 1950s to 2023 was a fun element. I was not able to predict what would happen, and I loved that. Definitely recommend.

Fascinating
