About the Book
She had prepared herself for a long, lonely summer in a creepy old house by the bay. She had not prepared herself for discovering the letters of a sheltered Edwardian girl.
She certainly never expected to meet her . .
Dragged from New York to Texas by her newly-divorced father, Scarlet Beldon braces for a lonely summer in a Victorian house that allows only the faintest of WiFi signals.
A stack of letters dated 1910 introduces her to the house’s former occupant, Clara Castle, who lives with a strict and paranoid father. When a music box connects the girls’ worlds, their friendship turns into a mad scramble to unlock the secrets of Clara’s future and alter history itself.
