Meet Rosie.
Rosie is nineteen and lives in a small Virginia town. Her Dad died in a construction accident when she was very young and her mum remarried his friend, Joey.

But Rosie doesn’t want to be just Rosie any more, when her grandma dies it’s the catalyst for her odyssey to find who she really is and who she really once was.
Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s scary, and sometimes it’s plain weird-but this is all Rosie’s for once. When she returns to Virginia after experiencing her 400 year time slip she knows the answers, and also who she wants to be.
If you don’t care you about Rosie stop now.
