Ah, the master returns with still another must-read novel to her credit. Time is a character in many of Jude Deveraux's works of art, and do not kid yourself, they are masterpieces. MY HEART WILL FIND YOU captured my heart immediately. Difficult to put down a book once you are hooked and in true Jude Deveraux fashion you will be enthralled with the story told in her newest gem.
Jude Deveraux has us jumping back and forth between two vastly separate times in the USA. Etta has devoted her life to taking charge of the household consisting of her sister and father. There was a big adjustment when her sister married and moved away from the home. Etta is on her way to visit her sister just when a pandemic hit making it impossible to get there or to get back home. She is truly alone in a strange place but luckily meets Henry, an elderly gentleman who gives her an opportunity to find shelter while becoming the babysitter his son had arranged.
They are both relying on strangers. Etta falls right into her comfort zone of helping people. That comfort zone has become lonely. Etta is aware that she is alone and at her age, the chance of meeting a special someone is getting quite unlikely.
While staying with Henry, Etta enjoys the many interesting items in his amazing house. And then the dreams begin. The question is which world is real and which is just a dream. Jude Deveraux pens this dilemma with her usual panache and humor.
Etta finds joy in the time she visits in her dreams. So much so she wishes she could stay there. She is no longer alone. What world does Etta truly belong in.
Jude Deveraux excels in transporting her characters to other dimensions and the reader is fortunate to be aboard for the adventure. And quite an adventure it is. As always Jude Deveraux has many surprises for us as we traverse time periods with her characters. When reviewing her works of literary art it is a challenge to avoid exposing the plot. This review of the journey of MY HEART WILL FIND YOU is purposely vague. MY HEART WILL FIND YOU is guaranteed to win this wondrous author more fans and entertain her followers. Be prepared to be enthralled and swept off your feet. References are made about folks reliving their past lives in their present choices. This is an exciting voyage. If you are a fan of time travel and willing to suspend disbelief, there is no one better equipped to construct a novel like MY HEART WILL FIND YOU. Enjoy.
Their love refused to stay quiet, echoing across time…
When the world is brought to a standstill in the early days of a global pandemic, Etta Wilmont finds herself suddenly stranded in Kansas City. Desperate to secure a roof over her head, Etta crosses paths with Henry Logan, a lonely older man in need of a caretaker. His invitation for Etta to stay with him seems to be the solution to both their problems—and maybe the spontaneous adventure Etta’s life has been missing.
As Etta and Henry settle into a companionable living arrangement, Etta indulges in Henry’s library. The compelling historical accounts of life in the Midwest soon inspire vivid dreams of Kansas City in the 1870s, dreams in which she’s a mail-order bride, married to a handsome but guarded rancher named Maxwell Lawton.
Haunted by the story unfolding in her mind, Etta realizes her dreams of the past and the familiar faces featured within are starting to have an impact on the present, altering her current reality. Perhaps these dreams are Etta’s chance to finally claim something for herself after so much time spent caring for others. More than anything, Etta wonders if the captivating man she’s falling for while she sleeps might be real, might be out there—true love waiting to be found and which would change both their lives forever.
