For Cameron, a university student working on his dissertation, it all started with his curiosity of a 1920’s photo of Candice Bell, who was brutally murdered in 1925. Cameron’s curiosity was further piqued when he not only meets a relative of hers, but that he also meets a time-traveler. A time-traveler? Suddenly, an amazing opportunity is presented and Cameron wants to go back to 1925…to save the girl he’s been in love with and that’s been dead for over 90 years. However, the time-traveling professor insists that Cameron not change the past and leave his family history intact.
This was a fascinating journey
through the roaring twenties. The scenes were so rich and descriptive. In this
Golden Age journey, Cameron gets a ring-side seat to a KKK ritual and a “sermon
of division, fear, and hate.” The young reporter Candice Bell apprises Cameron
of the deceit and corruption of their small community.
At the newspaper worked “a black
acquitted killer in a town of conservative, judgmental, law-abiding whites”—the
man that would also be responsible for Candice’s murder. Cameron’s journey
becomes more complicated when he gets romantically involved with Candice. Would
he be able to let her die the way history has written it? Or will he try to
save her and possibly jeopardize the future?
A captivating and well-written
time-traveling tale! A fantastic read! A wonderful journey to the Golden Age! I
want more books like this one!
