Braving Fiery Waters by Sarah Hanks

Braving Fiery Waters by Sarah Hanks is the second book in the Time Sailors series. It can be read as a standalone, though I do plan on going back and reading book 1.

This was a fun read about time sailing, where there is a mailbox, and if you open the mailbox, there is a task for you to complete. You find yourself in the past, with the only way to communicate with the present is through the mailbox. Mariana is the widow and mother of two teenagers. She lost her husband recently and is having a hard time grieving the loss. Mariana is the one who finds herself in St. Louis during the great fire. She does not know what her purpose is, though she goes to work trying to help others. In the meantime, her teens, Aiden and Brinley, are left in the present day with Claire. Each character is going through something different. Learning to grieve, learning to lean into God and trust Him. I appreciate the historical aspect and learning about 1849, a part of history I did not know about.

Sarah Hanks did a great job of intertwining faith throughout the story.
