herself—even though she knows her parents will be furious.
Tish, a brash, broke fellow student, doesn’t need much to get by. She can fix almost anything, so she makes do by building sets for the theater department and working odd jobs at the nearby salvage yard. Tish passes by the house one day and is mysteriously compelled to knock on the door. Libby offers her a room in exchange for her help with repairing the old house, and as they begin to work together, the two young women quickly find themselves growing closer.
Soon after moving in, Libby discovers a journal written by a young woman, Elizabeth, who lived in the house a century earlier and was deeply in love with her personal maid, Patricia. As Elizabeth’s journal entries delve deeper into her secret affair with Patricia—a love that was forbidden and dangerous in their time—Libby can’t help but notice uncanny similarities between that young couple and Tish and herself.
Have she and Tish lived this life before? And is this their chance to get it right?

A contemporary sapphic romance between Libby and Tish set around restoring an old Victorian house. Much of the setup centers on practical pressures such as money, family disapproval, and shared labor alongside the developing relationship. A parallel mystery involves a journal from a woman named Elizabeth and her maid Patricia whose forbidden affair echoes Libby and Tish. This may appeal more to someone interested in relationship-driven stories with a historical mystery element suggesting possible past connections.
