The Price of Breath
In the sweltering summer of 1944 Richmond, Virginia, teenage inventor Connie Hereson builds a strange device in her attic-a homemade radio that accidentally tears open the fabric of time.
First comes Delilah: a quick-witted Brooklyn girl from 2025, wide-eyed and clutching a dead phone.
Then Eleanor: a gentle soul from 1789 England, still dressed in silk from a world of horse-drawn carriages and candlelight.
Three girls from three impossible centuries, hiding in a blackout-curtained house while World War II rages outside. At first, it's magic-late-night whispers, shared secrets, laughter that bridges centuries, and a fragile family formed with Connie's war-weary mother.
But the device isn't finished. Reality begins to fracture: skies bruise violet, lights flicker wrong, time itself starts to bleed.
The heartbreaking truth dawns-they can't all stay. To save Connie's world, two must make an unthinkable sacrifice.
A haunting, unforgettable time-travel story about friendship across centuries, the weight of survival, and the devastating cost of love.
