I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 

Faye lost her mother at the tender age of 8.  Years later, as a mother and wife, Faye discovers a way to travel back in time to get to know her. 

Touching book with an unforeseen conclusion.

As a fan of Outlander, I was so excited to be granted a digital ARC of Faye Faraway from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review. Like Outlander, Faye Faraway is a time travel novel.  However, readers are not transported across an ocean, nor across such a large time span.  The desire to return to another time, is not a love interest, but instead, Faye’s own mother, who died when Faye was a little girl.   Although, I did not always agree with the decisions Faye made, I did enjoy this read. But, like real life we all handle grief in different ways. I also thought the author did a great job of writing in a blind character as Faye’s best friend.  I must say, though, I did think the ending was strange, even for a time travel novel.

Faye, Faraway is about a woman who is able to go back in time to visit her dead mother. While the premise of time-travel is usually very hard for me to get into, this novel addresses it in a way that doesn't make it seem too outlandish. Faye very much realizes how insane she would sound if she told anyone so she only tells her best friend. While this book had some slow parts, I really did enjoy it overall. There were some twists and turns along the way and then end might be a bit predictable, but enjoyable all the same.

This was such an emotional book! 
I was crying within the first few pages! 
I’m not a big time travel fan but this was done right. Faye lost her mother at a young age and had always missed her. She’s now married with children. One day she finds a picture and gets the chance to go back and visit her mother again. The conversations they have are more than she could’ve imagined. 
I definitely recommend this book! 
Thanks to Netgalley for my advanced ebook copy.

I feel conflicted about this book.  The writing and character development is great and it is such a fresh take on time travel.  I love the overall message of not living in the past, but moving forward, making the most of now and the time you have with the people you love.  However, without giving anything away, I just did not like where the book ended up.  

Thank you NetGalley and Gallery Books for access to this ARC.

Fay, Faraway was a creative escape by Helen Fisher.  Faye lives a beautiful life with her husband Eddie and her two girls, but the death of her mother when she was a young child has always left her longing for more.  Faye starts to clear out the attic, searching for clues of her mother's life, when she stumbles, falls, and finds herself in the past.  The past where she meets her mother and her younger self.  

A lovely story of devotion, spirituality, and the power of connection.  Thank you, NetGalley for an advanced copy of this novel.

When I read the premise for this book I wasn't sure it was for me, but I thought I'll give it a try. 
Faye loses her mother but then goes back in time where she finds her again and is able to create new memories and learn more about her mother than ever before. 
There are glimpses of different versions of Faith as her husband is looking into a calling within the clergy. 
This book was different than I was expecting, but it was different in a good way that made me want to continue reading. 
I can't say this book is for everyone but I think there are things in it that will pull people into the story and have them asking what comes next for these characters. 
It is a hard book to find the right words to say about it, I am still ruminating on it, but found it whimsical with hints of magic.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!

This book grabbed my heart from the very beginning and held on tight until the last page!  I love time travel novels and Helen Fisher puts an original spin on it with Faye, Faraway!  Most of the time travel novels I’ve read have had been romantic based, but Faye, Faraway centers around a mother and daughter which I LOVED!  Helen Fisher does a fantastic job with invoking so many authentic emotions in her characters which ultimately conveys to the reader and it’s pure magic!  I highly recommend this 5 star read to everyone!  I can’t wait to read more from Helen Fisher in the future!

A time travel love story adventure featuring Faye, a wife & mother still grieving the loss of her mother when she was 8 years old.    

An old toy box becomes the magical transport link giving Faye a trip back 30 years to met her mother, giving her experiences that will create memories of Jeanie to sustain Fay's adult self. 

The 'rules' and consequences of time travel provide fascinating plot lines while husband Eddie's career decision involving a calling from God provided theological links to faith to time travel.

A very thought provoking novel I thoroughly enjoyed.

I just adore time travel stories and this a perfect journey! 
Faye's mother, Jeanie died years ago when she was a little girl. 
Faye never really knew why or what happened when Jeanie was suddenly gone.
She is now in her thirties with children and a husband of her own and she still misses her mom.
When she accidentally finds a way and goes back to her childhood, she gets a glimpse of her life then and Jeanie's life back then, 
Can Faye actually go between the past and the present without "rocking the boat" and changing history?

This novel immediately sent me back to the seventies in my little house with my Mom sitting in her kitchen as she always did! The smells of the house came back, the simple times of the seventies! 
If you need a "memory fix" this is the book! 
I absolutely loved it!

The loss of Dates mother is hard. Faye is in her thirties and has a husband Eddie. Her husband wants to be part of the clergy. Faye works at an institute for the blind. I really liked Faye. She is all about her family and work.
