What if you accidentally erased your family from history?
Ian's sister Cinda opened the door, traveling through the Galactic Antipaterminal Passage into the minds of their ancestors, witnessing the past as it unfolded. Now Lexi, the GAP-crosser from the 31st century, has returned. This time for Ian.
1906. As twelve-year-old Ian steps into the mind of his four-times-great- grandfather, George Henry Parker, he feels the joy of courtship and the indescribable heartbreak of infant loss. From the healing hope in rebuilding Galveston to the darkening horizon of war, Ian is immersed in the beauty, sorrow and power of a faithful life. And it is here he starts to understand the true meaning of carrying a family forward.
Then everything changes.
Dark forces are working to change the past, and through one compassionate act at the wrong moment, Ian sets off a ripple with devastating consequences. Immediately he is ripped from his ancestor's mind and suspended above his home, trapped inside a Time Nexus, unable to return and helpless to undo what he has broken.
His family no longer exists. And he's the reason.
From the shadow of the Great War to a quiet deathbed moment that changes everything, The Meaning of One Life is a story about the lives we inherit, the losses we carry, and what one life truly means.
Based on a true story,
as chronicled in the author's great-great-grandmother's diary.A continuation of the journey from Voices in the Past: The First Journey, Part I, The Meaning of One Life, is a deeply personal blend of time-travel adventure, historical fiction, and Christian faith.
Perfect for fans of A Wrinkle in Time, The Shack, WWI historical fiction, and the Christian speculative fiction of C.S. Lakin.
