Publisher's Summary

Two presidential level assassinations that don't occur in history as we now know it, but in this young adult time travel political thriller, a powerful, wealthy man plans to change that. He hates history as we know it because the United States remains strong.

In October 1968, teenager Denise Reid falls asleep one evening just like every night. So does Taylor Williams, also 17 years old, in October, 2012.

In the morning, they discover they exchanged personalities.

Denise wakes up in 2012 in Taylor's body. Taylor now occupies Denise's body and time. Each must learn to cope with the 44 year-switch. And each attends a presidential campaign speech central to a European billionaire's plot to destroy the United States.

His plan? 

Assassinate presidential candidate Richard Nixon in 1968 and President Obama, running for reelection, in 2012. Only Denise and Taylor stand between him and success. But how can two teenage girls stop the armed killers?

To Denise, 2012, cell phones, personal computers, and $6 per gallon gasoline come straight out of an episode of The Jetsons. To Taylor, 1968 feels like a museum come to life. The pink princess telephone won't work unless plugged into the wall. Typewriters. Clothes either too demure or too outlandish.

However, her high school teachers horrify Denise the worst. They criticize the United States more than the hippies of her time. Teachers! And the students agree. But not all. Soon, she meets Andre who writes the blog The Voice of Young Black Republicans. She doesn't know a blog from Wi-Fi, but answers her many questions about the world of 2012. He takes her to a meeting of a conservative activist organization. He doesn't know that an inner circle of the group, manipulated by an agent of the European billionaire, plans to meet President Obama's upcoming campaign speech with bullets instead of protest signs.

Taylor hates Denise's annoying boyfriend but comes to rely on the hippie Georgie. He helps her find the ancient library book that promises to send her back to 2012. Georgie also tells Taylor of the Black Cougars' plan - also caused by manipulation by the European billionaire - to assassinate Richard Nixon when he makes a campaign speech. 

Taylor thinks it's not her problem until Georgie convinces her that Nixon's death by assassination in 1968 would plunge the United States into violence and chaos that would inevitably change 2012 as she (and we) know it.

Georgie proclaims himself a lover, not a fighter, and he won't stand by and watch his country overrun by hate. And Taylor loves Georgie.

How can the two teenage girls, in shock from time travel lag, stop two presidential level assassinations separated by 44 years? And what happens when they must return to their own years?

In this teenage adventure fiction, two teenage girls battle ruthless men determined to carry out the crimes of two centuries. An unusual young adult time travel adventure and romance.
