Johanna Lee of the twenty-first century finds out that she should never scoff at superstition only after she ends up in the middle of a field raining blood and bullets, half-way through her flight.
She makes her way home East, from the ragged plains of New Mexico to the industrialized city by the Thames, becoming a prisoner of war, a nurse, a swab, a pick-pocket, a baker's assistant, a fugitive and and a house servant along the way. She's only lagging behind by over a century.
Although Johanna's desperate for a way back, she has to face her greatest enemies in order to do so: Work and Procrastination. And she's so much better at the latter than the former. As if that isn't enough, she's got some bratty kid with a heartbreaking sob-story and his suspiciously perfect butler digging into her past. What happens when they find out she had never existed before the year 1886?
