Publisher's summary

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.

I would want to go home to my own time to.

Is there's no place like home. Seeing your children grow up is.I wish every mother has.

Great story

Time Lost isn’t my usual genre to listen to but I throughly enjoyed it. I’ll be looking for more books by this author

Fun read

Good for the imagination. It could have had a number of different scenarios and outcomes.

Loved it!

This was a delightful story! I usually read thrillers and this was a wonderful change from that genre. It kept my interest throughout.

A mixed bag

This book had an interesting premise, but the execution was often clunky and the text inelegant. It would have benefitted from proper editing. I have decided I need to get better at spotting self-published novels vs. conventionally published works. I absolutely do support the independent spirit, but honestly, I feel disappointed more often than not when I go this route.

Unique story

I liked the original storyline. I didn’t like how the main character was encouraged to start a new life and fall in love and remarry. It was presented as the ultimate goal she could achieve. It felt stilted and inauthentic.

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.
