What a surprise this book was. The cover is plain and not overstated or flashy. You can't really tell how the story will be. For a first time author he did very well. The number of chapters were a little daunting though until I saw how short most of them were.I thoroughly enjoyed the story about a young college man named Joel who goes on an adventure with his buddy. Only he didn't know the adventure would be life changing. Indeed it was. The majority of the stories I read are from the heroine's point of view but this was from Joels. I so enjoyed seeing things from his eyes, his perspective.The characters are very likeable. I was immediately drawn to them. I cared what happened to them. Looking at the cover you wouldn't think it was a time travel book but it is. What I find so unique about Joel going back in time is because it's not back hundreds of years. He travels back only 59 years.This author made me cheer, laugh, cry throughout the story. But I won't ruin the surprise of the ending. You'll just have to read it for yourself to find that out.  If you love a good story, time travel, a bit of romance, and adventure then this book is a must read. I look forward to reading more of Mr. John A. Hedlt's books in the future.I received a complimentary copy from author/publisher in return for an honest review.
