Sometimes the past is better left alone.
Kaley Kline is thrilled to have landed a job as director of
the new Tesla Museum in Colorado Springs. To make the museum successful, she
searches for undiscovered works to display. When she finds an old safe that
might have been Tesla’s, she’s shocked to find some diary pages supposedly
written by the inventor himself.
Kaley initially thinks either that the journal is a fraud or
Tesla was experiencing a nervous breakdown when he wrote it. However, if his
experiments were real, the world will never be the same. She decides to
secretly build Tesla’s time machine and attempt to go back into her own life to
change a decision she has always regretted.
She prepares for a trip to the past, not knowing whether she
will electrocute herself or travel back to the Boulder of her sophomore year in
college. But an old boyfriend might have hidden some secrets from her—secrets
that could have her fighting for her life.
My Thoughts…
Kaley finds the journal of Tesla and instantly decides that
she can reenact what Tesla did to time travel. Once she decides where she is going it is
full speed ahead. I felt like the part
leading up to the time travel went slow.
There was a lot of information, a lot of details concerning Tesla that I
did not follow or understand but it all led up to a great story of Kaley going
back to undo a wrong that led to someone she cares for getting hurt.
Diane Byington told a story that made me stop and think
about what I would change it I could time travel. Would it change my future? Make my life better?
If you are looking for a fun book to read If She Had Stayed
is a book I’d recommend. I’ve read
both of her books and enjoyed them both.
