INTO A GOLDEN ERA by GABRIELLE MEYER

 Publication date 5/5/26

INTO A GOLDEN ERA is the seventh novel in the Timeless series by GABRIELLE MEYER. I have read and enjoyed them all, but this one is my favourite. 

Ally is a time crosser and the story starts in 1849 with her arrival in San Fransisco with her sick father and young sister Hazel. Her plan is for them to go into the Sierra Nevada foothills to pan for gold, wanting to make enough money for both her families. Having lost all their money en route they end up staying in a very questionable boarding house in Sydney Town where they are looked after by some great people, including Sam. a convicted murderer…….

In 1929 Ally is a film star and is the main actress in her father’s film studio, which is making a valiant effort to avoid bancruptcy with a production of Little Women. Ally plays the leading role of Jo, while dashing playboy Spencer Hayes plays the part of Laurie. They have been offered Spencer by L.B. Mayer as long as Ally agrees to a fake romance with him in  order to improve his image. Will this lead to real romance?……

Ally’s twenty-fifth birthday is fast approaching and she has a difficult choice to make, being torn between those she loves in both timelines.. 

The author has done a great deal of research into these two periods of history. It is a well written book with great characters and a good Christian message. I could not put the book down and highly recommend it.

I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalleyfrom Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
