Gigi Marino has everything she once dreamed of. Four years into a happy marriage and financially secure for the first time in her life, Gigi is ready to enjoy the quiet comforts of retirement with her husband, Douglas. After a lifetime spent caring for others, she believes she's earned a life of rest. But rest doesn't bring the fulfillment she expected. In the years since Arianna's death, Gigi has learned how to keep moving-but her days still feel empty, and she's unsure who she is without someone to care for. Sensing her restlessness, Douglas surprises her with an opportunity meant to fill the void: a volunteer trip to Guatemala. What begins as a brief escape from their comfortable life in California quickly becomes something more. Far from home, Gigi is drawn to a struggling orphanage deep in the jungle, where the needs are overwhelming and the future uncertain. For the first time in years, she feels truly needed. When tragedy strikes the small community she's come to love, Gigi and Douglas are faced with an impossible choice. Return to the safety of the life they planned-or risk everything to protect a family they never expected to find. Set against the vibrant beauty and hardship of Guatemala, Taking Time is an emotionally rich novel about purpose, reinvention, and the courage it takes to answer a calling at any stage of life. It is the fourth book in the Legacy Series, a sweeping women's fiction saga following six women as they navigate love, loss, and the ties that bind them.
