Summary: BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN
Comment: How could this be real? That's what Kate Calambra keeps asking herself when she wakes up one morning in the 1850's, in a small mill town. She was living before in the 1980's when she had gone to sleep the night before. Kate has to accept the unbelievable truth- she really has gone 130 years back in time.

Now she is Kate O'Hara, one of five children in an Irish immigrant family. To add to her confusion, Kate finds herself overwhelmingly attracted to her handsome "older brother," Patrick. Kate's growing love for Patrick seems hopeless. After all, he thinks she is his sister. Kate sets out to do the impossible--convince Patrick that she has traveled back in time. But even if she is able to do that, and Patrick returns her love, will they ever know if Kate can stay in the 1850's, or will they one day wake up years apart?

Okay, that was on the back of the book. My take? It showed what it was like for the Irish, working HARD HARD HARD work, 13 hour days, with terrible wages and no time or energy to play or hang or anything! Really taught me a lot. It was like reading a history book, only without falling asleep. Great storytelling, excellent writing, good plot. All around great book. I give it 85 gazillion stars.
