Victorian Town

Abby Parker planned out her whole life: complete her final year of high school, go to college, get a job, move away from her insane family, stay best friends with Jessica.

But that was before she broke into the nearby tourist attraction and unwittingly answered a call from a centuries-old spirit who dragged her into 1876.

Able to navigate between the present and the past, Abby must solve a Victorian mystery without getting herself killed, or worse, spend a lifetime trapped in the 19th century, leaving behind everyone she loves and altering their lives forever.

When she meets gorgeous Benjamin, the future looks a lot like wreckage.

    I don’t even know how to share this story without spoilers.
    Thereforth, let me tell you about the author...she has done a great deal of research for this story which takes place in modern times and the Victorian era in the U.S. She lays the town out in fabulous detail. The clothes, the houses, the blacksmith, even the privy.
    …
    And I’m not saying anymore, other than READ THIS BOOK!

    I myself highly recommend this book it’s heartwarming, enjoyable and full of love. I myself would have made the same decision as Abby at the end of this book. Go and read for yourself to see if you would have.

    As a person who has re-found the joys of time travel adventures thanks to the tv show Timeless I was able to read this story about Abby who has found a way to travel back to 1876 to help solve a mystery. I thought it was awesome how the author gave us details on how Abby was able to deal with everything.
