Time Lost

By: Elyse Douglas

Narrated by: Natalie Duke

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.

Amazing!!

Wow! This has got to be one of the best stories I’ve read or listened to in a long time. It’s well written and follows along nicely. It held my interest throughout the entire book. The narrator was the best. She allowed the book to come alive. If you’re into time travel sci-fi stories, then this one is definitely for you. But if the genre doesn’t usually interest you, grab the book anyway. You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic performer

When it comes to time travel stories, I am forgiving of loose endings like in this story.

Fascinating storyline, excellent performance

What a wonderful story, quite unexpected, beautifully enhanced by an outstanding performance. Realistic and convincing despite the underlying premise.

Time Travel at it's best!

This book had a very interesting plot, was well written, and kept me up all night. The best part, I must say, though, was the narration!

The emotional aspects of the story.9

I picked this up because it was on sale and sounded interesting. It was excellent and I highly recommend it.

Bravo!

This was a fantastic read “(listen)”.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story line as well as the the narration.
Not necessarily a different type of story, but a story that is done from a different view point. While I didn’t find it to be a story that I couldn’t put down, I did find it extremely refreshing and entertaining, and that is because it is from Sally’s point of view.
The details of the 1950’s to the present were presented very well and made this seem very believable.

Reading this story has me hoping that we all have a guardian angel of some sort watching over us.

Decent story but flips character half way through

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.

Fascinating

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.

Solid

Decent time travel story that kept me interested but overall it was nothing special. Do not expect a science fiction story with challenging philosophical issues.

Sweet story

I really enjoyed listening to this upbeat book. The characters were compassionate and a fun ending. Refreshing listen.
