The idea behind the plot of A Gift in Time is very interesting: A hometown girl returns to open a shop selling curated antiques and art, multiple people have reasons to sabotage her efforts, and much hinges on the provenance of an antique music box linked to a famous historical inventor. The underlying theme of God's bringing good from all things is well developed in both the current day and the historical storylines. The two protagonists show readers that it is possible to see this good whether or not things work out the way we initially wanted them to. Sometimes one sees the good in hindsight. Other times, if one believes in God's goodness and is willing to be open to seeing the good, they are blessed to recognize the good along the way.
Now, I need to make it clear that I read an advanced reader's copy of A Gift in Time, so the one concern I had as I read this book likely has been corrected before the book went to print. My concern was that there were some contradictions in the text, not enough to alter the overall meaning of the story, but enough to be slightly annoying.
I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of A Gift in Time from Guideposts via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
