Sitting on the floor in her decaying, Victorian house on this cold, December day, twenty-five-year-old Lucy Lincoln is facing a future that is indeed bleak. Her grandmother has just died, leaving Lucy completely alone. Walls are peeling, the heat is off and the house must be sold. Oddly, a small green frog appears, hops toward her, and then smiles. Lucy is convinced she is going insane. The frog quickly turns and leaves, slamming the back door. Adding to her upset is the termite inspector, Alec Frogmore, arriving unannounced, and the two nearly come to blows. This scenario introduces Lucy's journey back in time as she attempts to bring the house and her life into the present, yet yearns to visit its inhabitants of the past. She miraculously wakes to spend a day in the year 1870 and must cope with a host of problems. The following years, 1888, 1925, and December 6, 1941, the day before Pearl Harbor, complicate her life even further. Included in this strange twist of events is Alec, who has the gall to keep reappearing as a distant Frogmore relative on her trips back in time. Love, laughter and pain radiate through the pages wherein Lucy eventually finds happiness, true love and the value of living in the present.
