In the meantime, there's an interesting exploration of what the "safety net" for misplaced children looks like in each time period, and how well it works, or doesn't. Many time travel/switch books deal with the technological changes, but this one also deals with social changes-roles of women,attitudes about race, disabilities, etc.Ī bit of a slow start-and what are the odds that two girls, 100 years apart in San Antonio, Texas, would each wish to be 100 years in the past/future, at the same abandoned well, simultaneously? That aside, how they at first relish the change, then try to adapt to their new situation, begin to miss their own time, and finally try to figure out how to get back to it makes for a very satisfying story.

I have read two previous books on spirituality by Lamott, both longer and better than this one, but they all have the same qualities.
