Synopsis

During an outdoor promotional photo shoot set to look like 1855, Penny Barton travels back in time and meets a man she thinks is an actor in nineteenth-century garb; he is Fletcher Dawe, a Coshocton, Ohio, dry goods merchant who has invested in the nascent railroad of 1855.

Is Train to Yesterday appropriate for my child?

Suitable for most readers 16 and up.

A time-travel romance with mild sensuality and period-appropriate courtship. No graphic content, but romantic tension and kissing likely present.

What to know going in

This book has no graphic violence, moderate sexual content, and clean language.

Who'll love this

Readers will enjoy the fish-out-of-water comedy and romance as a modern woman navigates 1855 Ohio.
