I usually don't go for time travel books. (I read the mega-hit The Outlander which was okay but I will not be connoting on with the series.) But there was something about the premise that made me give it a try. And I really enjoyed it. Quinn lives in the suburbs of Long Island with a great husband (Lewis) and their son, Isaac. She is especially happy now because she is pregnant with a daughter. Life is good until the devastating news that the baby is probably going to be seriously disabled. Should they continue with the pregnancy? She wishes Nan, her mother, were there to help her, but soon after she married Lewis her mother committed suicide.
In Quinn's basement there is a portal. She has tried to ignore it but one day she goes through it. On the other side is her life as it would have been if she had stayed with Eugene - who is the complete opposite of Lewis. There she is no longer pregnant and she doesn't have a son - but her mother is there!
As Quinn wrestles with her choices she travels back and forth but the portal becomes smaller each time and it becomes harder.
An interesting story that may make you think about the major forks in your own life and the good and bad that might have been.
