We end up in two different time lines, with two brothers, each with their life on the line. What ends up transpiring makes for a really enticing read. When a family member is fighting for his life in hospital, two sisters rush to be by his bed side. There is no great in-depth explanation to the time travel, but it is made to feel entirely possible and believable. Sometimes ‘time travel’ elements in a story can come across as completely far-fetched and quite unbelievable, but that wasn’t the case with this story. It was much more interesting and enjoyable than I had hoped for. This story wasn’t what I was expecting at all. I had read Amelia’s Children and really enjoyed that story, so when I saw this one I knew I just had to read it as well. The author takes us on an incredible journey where we explore the concept of time travel, family ties, and discover a secret or two along the way. It is a very imaginative story that has mystery, drama and a bit of a sci-fi feel to it. Road to Yesterday is a thought provoking read by Greta Cribbs. I received an ARC edition from Greta Cribbs in exchange for my honest review.

If you are looking for a read that sneaks up on you emotionally while holding you captive through each page, this is one to try definitely a brilliant hidden gem that deserves to be uncovered. Short, yet wonderfully written, family and fantasy cross the barriers of time and the trials of sacrifice only to come out on the other side, a little sadder, a little wiser and safe in the knowledge that once again, family always has your back. Driven by these siblings, this story unfolds in a simple way, only to crescendo at the end in a heart-wrenching symphony that had me close to tears. Greta Cribbs starts us on this amazing journey with a shocking revelation, sibling reminiscing and some humor and attitude that can only be shared by blood. In the race against time, a matter of life and death, a mysterious entity may hold the key to the answers they seek and once again, the bond between siblings will be proven stronger than anything beyond the veil of death. As they drive across country to be by Alex’s side, they will uncover an amazing story of love in its purest and most unselfish form, a story that began ten years earlier when Kyle lay dying as Alex does now.

But as is hurtling into a dream, Violet and Kim discover a person from their past, a person ten years younger than the last time they saw him and he has no idea where he is or in what time. Greta Cribb’s ROAD TO YESTERDAY Starts out as Kim and Violet are urged by their older brother, Kyle, to come quickly, their brother Alex has collapsed and his prognosis is not good. The familial bond may be tested over and over, but in the end, love wins out. Family, maybe you can’t pick your family, but when the chips are down, family comes together, sibling willing to go to the mat for sibling.
