Book Description:
From a journal written in 1836, in a city which will not be called San Francisco...
It is hard to be so old when the world is now so young.
Since the machine is all used up, I will have to do my time traveling on paper. No matter. I look forward to writing a chronicle of the four alternate histories of Earth.
The first part of my memoir consists of a journal I kept as a girl -- it chronicles our voyage back in time from the year 2062 to the year 1962, and how we saved the world from nuclear war. I kept that journal religiously almost through the end of 1962, not wishing to forget a single detail of our great adventure. However, I soon learned that life in twentieth-century America was so hectic, no journal could possibly keep up with it. So the rest of my story has been written here, in my last years, overlooking the glittering bay of Navaya Moskva.
To paraphrase what Bette Davis once said -- in another world that will never be -- Fasten your seat belts! It's going to be a bumpy ride...
"This book gave me the chills. Mona Clee is a new author worth watching."
--ALLEN STEELE, author of The Jericho Iteration
"A time-travel adventure in the tradition of H. G. Wells."
--JULIA ECKLAR, author of Regenesis

Barbara R. (Publisher's Note
In time travel, there is a starting point, an end point, and a point of no return. From a journal written in 1836, in a city which will not be called San Francisco, here are the memoirs of a girl chronicling her voyage back in time from the year 2062 to the year 1962, and how the world was saved from nuclear war.
This was a really good read about the effects of time travel. Definitely thought-provoking!
