The Time Locket

Avey runs away from home--a Manhattan apartment in the 21st century--expecting to find refuge with her grandmother in North Carolina. Instead she finds herself lost in the woods. . . in the 16th century. What--or who--has pulled her back in time, to the Lost Colony of Roanoke? And why do the people she meets think she can save their lives? Avey seems to have become unstuck in time, but the dangers of the past start to seem much safer than the difficulties of the present. Like Diane Gabaldon's Outlander series, or Jack Finney's classic Time and Again, Avey's adventures, in both past and present, create a compelling story of history and romance, wrapped in a new solution to the centuries-old mystery of what happened to the Lost Colony.
