Books like When There Is Hope by Jane Goodger (Blackwood)
When an accident leaves Susan Butler with amnesia, the only thing she recalls is her happily married life in the 1990s and the anticipation of a first child. Suddenly, her memory shifts, and she is transported back to 1888, assuming the identity of Margaret Johnsbury. In Newport, she discovers the world she knows has turned against her: her charming husband, Carter, now loves someone else, and the entire town has turned their disdain towards her. The story explores the challenges of reinvention, love, and the weight of social expectations while navigating a time when life is governed by rigid customs.
Through Susan/Margaret’s eyes, readers witness the clash between modern sensibilities and the strictures of the 19th‑century society, all while her amnesia compels her to adapt quickly to survive and redefine her identity.
