Breaking News: Retired football player Victor Vanderbilt's son August Vanderbilt's body was found floating on Hall Lake last night. Investigators found no foul play. Victor and his family asked to keep other information from the press to mourn for August privately.

Balancing school and her three part time jobs, going out for fun was the last thing Mara Hart had in mind. But when her best friend asked her to, she couldn't say no. When Mara saw August Vanderbilt at the amusement park that night, she didn't think something was wrong.

He didn't see her, of course. August was known for genuinely believing that people like her doesn't deserve to even breathe the same air he does. Well, that, and he was the only son of Victor Vanderbilt.

With August being 'spoiled and arrogant' and Mara being 'a socially awkward freak who talks to ghost', what would happen when Death decided to play with them?

Living their completely opposite lives, one accident would change everything.

[Wattys 2022 Winner!] Vanessa Brooks, an anxious and cynical seventeen year-old, discovers she can travel to the summer of 1953 through the run-down community pool in her rural Michigan town and risks her future as she falls for a boy who lives in the past. ****** On the last day of junior year, Vanessa Brooks joins her friends for a traditional jump into the city pool to celebrate the beginning of summer and the last year they plan to spend in Palmer, Michigan; a dead-end riverside town with an eerily abandoned historic main street and decaying Victorian mansions. But when she resurfaces her classmates have been replaced by girls in retro swimsuits and bathing caps and guys in thigh-baring briefs with cigarettes tucked behind their ears. When Pete Harrison, an unfamiliar face who seems somewhat familiar with hers, offers a dizzy and confused Vanessa a towel and a ride home, she discovers her house and family missing. She has somehow slipped into 1953, the year her grandparents graduated high school. Using the pool and vivid imaginings of her grandfather's memories, Vanessa continues to escape to 1953- and to Pete, who, despite his unaffected kindness and optimism, has a mysterious bad reputation around town. But as she dives deeper into the summer her grandparents fell in love, she finds herself unable to return to the present without venturing even further into the past to correct a mistake that threatens her family and future. *Content Warning: this story contains scenes of near drowning and other perils on the sea, swearing, smoking and alcohol use* This story is complete at ~90,000 words.
