NEVER LEAVE ME, the much-anticipated sequel in my Waters of Time series is hitting shelves this week!
So far, early readers have been loving this second time-crossing novel. In fact, one reader said this:
“Never Leave Me is one of my most anticipated sequels and it does not disappoint! Once again, author Jody Hedlund weaves a compelling, intelligent, page-turning story full of symbolism, healing, miracles, time-travel in another amazing “what-if” story. I could not put it down!”
In NEVER LEAVE ME, Harrison Burlington, a brilliant scientist, is left to pick up the pieces after experiencing the devastating loss of longtime friends. With his power and wealth, Harrison continues the search for more holy water, with the hope of saving the woman he secretly loves, Ellen Creighton, who is dying of a genetic disease.
Ellen’s prognosis is grim, and the doctors agree she doesn’t have long to live. She resigns herself to her fate. But Harrison only grows more desperate to save her. When Harrison finds two flasks of holy water, he sets into motion events that changes both his and Ellen’s lives forever and sends them on an adventure of a lifetime.
It’s my desire that readers will come away from both books in the series with a greater fascination and appreciation for history. And maybe in the process, they’ll also wonder if crossing time is more possible than they’d ever believed!
I hope that you’ll decide to take a chance on this new time-crossing genre! You never know, you just might find yourself swept away in the rivers of time!

Hello! I’ve binge read your books this Christmas season. Like 20 of them—in December alone. Sitting in so many of your works in a small period of time feels like a glimpse into your heart and prayers. It has been inspiring, convicting and comforting as I take on this new year. Thank you for that. <3
If I could time travel anywhere I’d go to the London or Chicago World Fairs. There’s something about the innovation, energy, hope and determination that I’d love to witness first hand.
Also visiting lands before colonization would be beautiful. Or in early homesteading years where I could live with just a mountain for daily company.
I’d also give everything I own to be Mary’s neighbour after the flight to Egypt. I feel like there would be no better teacher of theology than a little Jesus toddling after his mother w the laundry.
It would thrilling to me to be able to travel back to the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. It would be fabulous to see first hand the things and places as they were as seen by my grandparents and parents.
I would travel back to the late 1800’s. I think that was an interesting time.
I listened to book 1, and was worthless to do anything productive until I reached the end!
I would love to travel back to Colonial America to be part of the founding of our nation.
I would love to travel back to the 1800s or early 1900s to meet some of my older ancestors that I have learned about.
So many options of when I’d like to travel back to: the westward expansion, unexplored North America, Victorian England, the time of Jesus. I think I could happily explore for eons! Congratulations on the release of your prequel! Yay!
Congratulations on your new release!
If I could go back to any time era, it would be Regency or Victorian England.
Congratulations on the book release! This one looks completely irresistible, and I love a good time slip! I pinned on Pinterest and will share on Instagram also. I’d love to slip back to the WWI era, or even WWII and the 1940s. There’s so much about those wartime eras that I just can’t even fathom, and it would be unbelievable to spend time with my Gramma as a baby or as a young woman.
Have so many places and times I’d like to travel back in time to see – Biblical eras, medieval, renaissance, roaring ’20’s, and on and on. Would also like to go back in time to see my grandparents who I never met, but died tragically (house fire and car wreck) long before I was born. Win or no, I’ll definitely be reading this book as I couldn’t put down the first one.
I really enjoyed the first book and am looking forward to continuing the story in this new release! 🙂
I would love a day or two in regency London. But the 1950s would be a fun time to experience as well!
The first book was great. I look forward to reading this one and reviewing it.
1900
I would love to travel back in time to the 1900
I would like to visit Medieval Scotland 🏴. I enjoy tales from that time period most of all.
Civil War era but not during the war. I love the Regency era too.

That’s hard. I would love to walk with Jesus and sit at His feet to learn. I shared on Pinterest and Facebook.
I would love to go to Regency England time period and visit Jane Austen with her family and friends.
I shared the graphic and link on Pinterest.
So many great times, I think I would have to pick the 1800s. Other than a microwave being my favorite appliance 😜, that is the time I am most intrigued by.
Congratulations on the book release. I haven’t read book 1 yet, but it’s on my TBR list. This one looks just as irresistible!
I’d like to spend a little time in each period: pre-jacobite Scotland, Renaissance England, colonial and expansionist America, maybe take a turn carrying the mail on the pony express. They’d all be fascinating!
I would travel to so many time periods. I couldn’t name them all.
I loved the first book so much. It stressed me out with the time travel and getting sick or hurt. 🤣🤣 But I loved it and can’t wait to read this second book!!!💗
I’m pretty attached to modern day comforts, ha! But I do think I’d like to travel back to the Regency period to experience the tea times and the dresses and the dancing.
I would love to be able to visit the Civil War era and the Regency era.
I would like to travel to the medieval period as long as I wasn’t a serf. I’ve always been fascinated with the medieval castle.
Love this!!!
I always enjoy reading books written by Jody Hedlund!
I would love to travel back to the early 1930’s Mansfield, Missouri when Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote her books and find out what really happened between her and her daughter Rose Wilder Lane.
If I could travel back in time, it would be to the 1950’s & 1960’s.
Why, you ask?
To be with my family & friends and to
give each one a big hug and receive another
hug in return.
I’d. like to come to America during early colonial times…fascinating times. I am thankful to live now as my brain implant and other things that help improve my quality of life as a disabled Individual didn’t exist even thirty years ago.
late 1700’s for me. I have done a lot of genealogical research, and I just have so many questions and details and I’d love to know from that time period!
If I could, I’d probably go to pretty much exactly when your characters have. Ha ha haa
The 1800
I would love to visit the regency time! It always fascinates me and I love reading anything in the regency era. Loving this book so far! Only a few chapters in and I’m at the edge of my seat to find out what happens next. 🙂
If I traveled back in time I think I’d like to visit either the Wild West or medieval history.
The Victorian period
The early 1800’s would be interesting!
I’m not sure I would want to travel back in time very far–the whole plumbing issue. Lol. I think the Edwardian era would be okay.
There are things in probably every time period that I’d like to see because I think history is soooo cool! If I had to pick a favorite, I would choose the Civil War or the early 1900’s in the U.S…..and the Regency period in England….and WWII in Europe….and to get to see Christ in person….see, too many cool things to go back to see!!
I love reading about the pioneering days of the US so that would be my pick. I’d love to go spend a week with Laura Ingalls.
I’d want to visit the US during the colonial period or the west during settlement.
I would love to travel back in time to the late 1800’s out West. People were very resourceful back then.
I would like to travel back to the late 1800’s out West. People were very resourceful back then.
I would go back to the late 1800s in New England.
I would like to visit the 1940s into the post-war period, preferably in Nashville, to experience what my own characters experience!
The late 1800’s
I pinned on Pinterest and shared on FB and IG
Definitely to the Renaissance!All that art and music!
I would like to travel back to the time when middle America was being settled–before the Civil War, I think.
Jody, Congratulations on your release! I’d like to travel to the Regency era.

I would like to travel back to 1921 and go through Ellis Island as an immigrant from Poland.
I absolutely love the time crossing genre! So much fun!
I enjoy modern-day conveniences, but I think it would be neat to travel back and see Jesus healing and preaching. Congratulations on Never Leave Me 🙂
