Kate is a strong, memorable protagonist, and her romance with Trey, the boy she meets in an altered timeline, is sweet and believable. Walker has clearly thought through the complicated layers of world-building and temporal hijinks, keeping the story's multiple strands from getting too tangled. When history alters, and Kate's family is lost, only she remains to travel back to the 1893 World's Fair and prevent the murder that changed everything. Kate Pierce-Keller is stunned when her formerly estranged grandmother tells her about a secret family history involving time travel and a conspiracy by a rogue scholar from the future to rewrite society through the use of retroactively inserted religion. In this time-travel adventure, which won the 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award in the YA category, Walker delivers a solid, leisurely paced tale that mixes romance with temporal intrigue.
