Ruthie lives in a world where everything is normal, as normal as it can get.
However, a tragic car accident caused her to stop aging and enter a two hundred year coma.
When doctors and scientists that have been studying her case for generations finally figure out how to release her from said coma, everything is different. No more gasoline powered cars, just electric cars that hover in the air instead of drive on the road with wheels. No more sidewalks, just tubes with moving floors and stairs.
The culture shock is enormous for Ruthie.
She's trapped in a world beyond her time, in a body far younger than her conscience, surrounded by technology far more advanced than her own.
The only thing unchanged about her world is herself and the hospital room around her. The room never changed, through all those years. Same life machine, same bed, same chairs, same windows.
Considering two hundred years had passed, it was no surprise the room had been moved. For now their were nuances of difference in the room. When the window was open to let fresh air in, it didn't smell of the ocean breeze. And Nurse Farrah no longer came, for she was long dead. Everyone that Ruthie knew was dead, her mother, her father, her sisters, her brothers, her grandparents, her friends, her pets.
Upon waking, Ruthie is introduced to Reuben, a boy of many stories. He is assigned as her guide, teaching her about the culture she must now live in. He makes sure she doesn't get lost, and shows her the new world.
Literally one cuss word. Get over it.
