At first, Josh is more intrigued than alarmed by this accidental time travel. Then a lost young woman appears, claiming to be from 1908 . . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs his life, his family, his town, and even history itself begin to unravel, Josh gradually realizes that his only salvation may lie in A Shortcut Time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCharles Dickinson has written a moving and unforgettable book about the way the past can affect the present as well as, sometimes, the other way around.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Dickinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0765306395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765306395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.12w x 0.76d","brand":"Charles Dickinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925976252671,"sku":"9780765306395","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_284be2ee-8002-49d0-b517-55c23c9871de.jpg?v=1681080462","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-shortcut-in-time-charles-dickinson-9780765306395","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
