Her good Samaritan deeds— like a 21st century Disney feel-good Pollyanna—Tory changes the future as she experiences exciting time loops. Enter the adventures of TORY BOWERS, a high school junior who lives in Denver, Colorado and morphs into a time traveler in search of saving her high school choir and notable to earthy people in the 1800s (abroad to the Eastern seaboard onto the Golden State in the Wild West Coast). In the beginning, blindsided by losing the school choir to challenges, Tory meets an energetic 16-year-old football player who has a lot more on the ball than sports. The opposites attract couple connect as they try to save the high school choir and end up falling into the world of time travel which is a road to reaching their goal together. Tory is a bright and adventurous heroine, spellbound by TATE WILLIAMS, a young man easy on the eyes who rescues her in both their time traveling and present-day events. While the couple and their friends go on a rescue mission somewhere in time, they land in a world of helping others in need. The amazing surprise is that by spinning their wool bracelets (a gift from their teacher) takes them back to the past—but it’s the power of kindness and the right timing and place thanks to time travel that helps to save the teens’ yesteryear friends’ lives and preserve their beloved choir for the school, community, and their passion for the sound of music that resonates in time worldwide.

Most importantly, the theme of kindness and its miracles put to work by selfless teens, plays a major role in the moving stories, past and present in time.
