Joey Fagan is certain of only two things. The mayor of Chicago will be assassinated at the end of the week, and she is stuck in the year 1893. What she doesn't know is how she landed 100 years back in time, or why Peter Hastings, the man trying to help her, shares some eerie similarities to her dead husband. When Joey, perhaps unwisely, revealed the year of her origins it didn't sit well with her host. Her effort to convince him by predicting the mayor's murder only made matters worse. Now her sanity is in question, and everything she does puts it further into doubt. One of the few bright spots in the whole situation is William, Peter's five year-old son, but he is a stark reminder that she left a son of her own back in 1993.

Armed with nothing but her wits, Joey must navigate the rigid waters of the Victorian era while she ...
