Thirteen-year-old
Margaret O'Malley is devastated when the evil Judge Lucas Biggs finds
her father guilty of arson and murder and sentences him to death. Margaret
is certain that he is innocent but is helpless to prove it. Determined
to save him, she resorts to her family's forbidden secret power, the ability
to time-travel, in hopes that if she can change the early, hurtful events
in the judge's life, she can manipulate the forces that turned him into
a cruel and corrupt man. But, can she change the past?
Ignoring
her family's strict restrictions, Margaret jumps back into time, meets
her friend Josh and tries to transform the events that poisoned Lucas
Biggs's character to try to save her father's life.
Will
she be able to survive the strict rules of time travel?
Will
history allow the two friends to manipulate the events that dictate the
future? And even if they can, will it change the deadly verdict that has
doomed Margaret's father?
The
convoluted tale of time-travel, crime, family desperation, and an evil
corporation with no regard for the safety of its employees, transports
readers to a time decades earlier where even they face problem-solving
challenges.
