Joel is on a road trip with his friend Adam. While going through Montana, he decides to explore an abandoned gold mine. While in there, he is transported back to 1941. At first all he can think about is getting back to 2000. Then curiosity gets the better of him and he wants to see what his hometown looked like in 1941. Joel meets Tom and stays at his families place while making his way. He gets together with some kids his age and meets his 21 year old grandmother. He also falls in love with her friend Grace. But when it is time to leave, Joel has to decide if he is going back to his own time or going to stay in 1941.I really enjoyed this book. The first thing I noticed is the realistic history when Joel goes back in time. You can tell the author did a lot of research when he wrote this book. He also thought of things most people don’t think of like the difference in currency, cell phones, and such. I liked the romance with Grace. It is that old school slow wooing that you don’t see in most stuff today, written or real life. I also loved the question of should Joel try to change things and help people that are going to die or is he going to let things be so he doesn’t change history.There is a lot of thought that went into this book. My only real complaint would be that the ending was a little rushed. Then I learned that this is going to be part of a series. Now I can’t wait to read the next two books.Don’t judge this book by its cover or the blurb on the back. There is so much more going for it. You don’t want to miss reading this one.I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
