Orphaned Lola has suffered a rough, solitary life. Then she falls asleep in the school library and wakes up in 1923, where she finds welcoming friends, wealthy benefactors, and romance. Lola slips back and forth in time, wondering if she is crazy but trying desperately to stay in the past regardless. Her story is an intriguing blend of history, fantasy, and realism.
