Summary:

It's 1978 in Boulder, Colorado, and Shay Garrett finds herself on the eve ofher wedding. After looking into an ugly heirloom mirror, Shay passes out andwakes up in her bedroom, but it's 1900 and she's not Shay anymore, she'sBrandy McCabe--her grandmother. It is the eve of Brandy's wedding. Rumor intown has it that Brandy is crazy, so when she begins to act even crazierthan usual, it's chalked up to her past behavior...and an attempt to get outof the marriage being forced upon her by her father. Going through with themarriage, Shay moves with her husband to a small town up in the mountainsoutside Boulder, keeping the mirror with her so she can keep trying to getback to her own life.The book has three main sections: Shay living Brandy's life, Brandy livingas Shay, and Rachel who's the mother of Shay and the daughter of Brandy. Alot of research went into this book--the history of Boulder, the ins andouts of the characters' genealogy, and the time periods. Even the portrayalof that blasted mirror is well-done and creepy. I found this to be apage-turner!
