I had a hard time with this last book in the quintet. I kept waiting for the story to start. There was a lot of set up in this one and then the back and forth between the present and 3,000 years before. It was hard to become engrossed. Just my opinion!

This one was pretty heavy on preachiness. Not as wonderful as the first two, but the entire quintet will always be special to me.

My dear, I’m seldom sure of anything. Life at best is a precarious business, and we aren’t told that difficult or painful things won’t happen, just that it matters. It matters not just to us but to the entire universe.

A flash of lightning, quivering ground, and, instead of her grandparents' farm, Polly sees mist and jagged mountains -- and coming toward her, a group of young men carrying spears. Why has a time gate opened and dropped Polly into a world that existed 3,000 years ago? Will she be able to get back to the present before the time gate closes -- and leaves her to face a group of people who believe in human sacrifice?
