Greetings from the Nifty Fifties...
The morning after a blowout birthday celebration in Atlantic City, crime reporter and party girl Tess Mancini wakes up in an unfamiliar place-1955. Bread is eighteen cents a loaf, Ike occupies the White House, and the Boardwalk is crawling with vintage cars and vintage wise guys. A bewildered Tess is sure of only two things: One, she's not crazy, and two, the clothes are fabulous. Somehow, she's living the life of her Great-Aunt Theresa, who disappeared decades before Tess's birth.
In her 1950s existence, Tess is a reporter at the local newspaper, living at a boarding house owned by her Zia Antonetta, an Italian immigrant with a big secret. It turns out Theresa has a kid brother, teenaged troublemaker Val Mancini-aka Tess's paternal grandfather. Though determined to return to her own time, Tess's curiosity takes over. What happened to the first Theresa Mancini? And is Tess's trip through time connected to her aunt's fate?
But when young Val is accused of murdering a boarding house guest, a Nazi in hiding, Tess ends up with two investigations on her hands-and is now stuck in time until she can prove Val's innocence. As she searches for answers, she finds allies in a dishy police detective and a suspiciously charming fellow reporter. The clock is ticking for Tess to find a way home, but first, she has to keep her grandfather off Death Row.
Because before Tess can get back to the future ... she needs to make sure she has one.
