Have you ever longed to live in another time and place? Joe and Linda Murphy found a beautiful 3-story Victorian house that they decide to restore to its original splendor. As the restoration continued, the family decided that maybe 1909 was a better place to live than where they were now.
Three years later, the day after they installed the last item bringing their renovation to completion, they were shocked to find that they really had traveled back to 1909, when the house was built.
They could remember their lives in 2009, but were living in the same house in the same town in 1909.
Completely Restored is a wonderful story by Robert Kerr that shows what happens when a family who has drifted apart must either pull itself together or continue its downhill slide.
Filled with historical facts and people, Completely Restored was a fairly easy read and one I had trouble putting down. I hope you get a chance to read this book. If you are interested at all in time travel, you will love the care that Mr. Kerr took in recreating 1909 Marshalltown, Iowa and its inhabitants. You may also find someone you recognize.
