Amelia Baldwin is a costumer for theater productions and lives in 1990 Chicago. On a visit to Winona, Minnesota, to visit a refurbished theater there, she falls through the stage floor and time-travels back to 1900. The author could have come up with a great book based on that premise, and there are some interesting tidbits about how much work there was to do back then versus now, but the author took the easy way out and turned this into a bodice ripper with a "perfect," unrealistic ending. Don't waste your time. ( )
