All of Jory’s life, she saw visions of the past in her great-grandmother’s full-length mirror. But whenever she saw the ghost of her great-uncle Irv Lerman, dressed in his Air Corps uniform, always standing tall by his mother, she knew that she was meant to save him—by traveling back in time and preventing his untimely death in World War II. Researching everything she would need to go back in time, she planned her adventure down to the last detail. London during wartime was not what Jory had expected—it was worse. But her relationship with Irv became even more than she could have ever expected. He became a big brother, a protector, and her soul mate. Their strong bond was unbreakable, even through time. Jory’s harrowing adventure involved living through air raids of the city and the dangerous kinder transport of Jewish children escaping the Holocaust. But saving Irv from his fate would take convincing on his part. Dying for his country was part of the deal when he signed up to go to war. Now that his “angel,” his “soul mate,” had come back through time to save him, would he make the choice to live? Or would Jory’s journey through time be forever in vain?
