But when Gail steps through the iron gate near the edge of the woods, she has a shock. Instead of fields, she looks across a wide lawn to an enormous house! And running toward her is a girl wearing a dress from a hundred years ago!
Somehow, Gail has gone back in time. Can she return to the present? Or will she and Candy be caught in the past forever?« less
Even more than most of Doty's YA horse stories, this is a gripping tale of a young woman who realizes almost too late that she may be trapped forever in a time that is not her own.
