About this ebook
Cared for most of her life by her grandmother, Miette Brochure reads her grandmother's diary and a letter she left for her after her death.
Also left for her is a necklace that her grandmother promised would bring her happiness.
When Miette puts it on, she awakes in the future, 2038. Confused and frightened, she is greeted by a man who claims to
know the powers of the necklace.
When Slater Erickson meets a beautiful young woman in the park, he is instantly attracted to her but she is very different from the females of this era.
After their first kiss he proclaims his love but Miette insists that she doesn't belong there with him.

Chapter One
Is death the end of one’s life...
Or is it the beginning?
Germany, 1874
It was a saddest three days for Miette Brochure. Her grandmother passed away, her dear Nana, whom she’ll miss more than words can express. Miette had been a ward of Nana since she was ten. Her mother died from pneumonia when she was three and her father died shortly after of a broken heart from missing his wife. Her father of French decent came to Germany to visit his cousin. His cousin had married a German girl who was a friend of her mother’s. Her father fell in love with her mother, the moment they met. He moved here to Germany and they married. Miette promised herself that she would only marry for love the way her parents had loved one another. Now she was all alone, but at twenty-three she was capable of taking care of herself. In fact, she had taken care of Nana for the past year since she had become bed ridden.
‘Miette,’ Nana would say, ‘Go out and find a nice young man, stop spending all your time with me. Besides, you’re running the house, managing my affairs, and reading to me, you must take time to enjoy yourself, my Little Sparrow.’
Little Sparrow was her Nana’s pet name for her because she had dark blue eyes like the porcelain sparrow her mutter had given her. A treasure Miette valued more than any other possession. The bird’s eyes are dark blue and it watches over her as it sits on her nightstand.
Nana, you know that I love to read to you. And I have lots of time to look for a man. I’m only twenty-three, not an old spinster.
‘Enkelin you will be if you keep that attitude.’ she’d scolded Miette lightly.
Only a week ago Nana made her sit insisting that she had something important to tell her. She sounded too serious and Miette got a knot in her stomach sensing that she was not going to like what her grandmother had to say.
Little Sparrow, my house and all that I own I have left to you.
She grabbed Nana’s frail, cold hands and said that she was not interested in anything but for her to get better.
‘Now, child, mein Klein Sperling, we both know that I am dying and do not look so grief stricken, I have loved my life especially with you in it. Now, I want you to promise me that when I am gone, you will open the top drawer of my dresser and read my diary and take the little box too. Before I met your grandpapa I had the most wunderbar exciting life. And I want you to experience what I had when I was your age.’
Now, she sat and held the book and locked box in her trembling hands not sure if she wanted to read it. Nana promised that the box would bring her an adventure beyond her beliefs but she could not fathom how. She figured it was just the ramblings of an old failing woman. But now, her curiosity was mounting so she opened the book and read the note inside:
Dear Little Sparrow;
My diary is the only real treasure that I leave to you. Mein liebe it may just be the best gift you’ll ever receive. I will see you again.
Miette placed the note aside pondering for a moment what Nana meant by those words, I will see you again.
Shrugging, she put that thought aside for now. Miette read a few pages of Nana’s life about her younger years until she found a key pressed between two pages.
