Could you imagine waking up on your lounge room
floor, with an aching head, throbbing, bleeding eye and then not being able to
recognise anything in the room, with the exception of your husband and child,
who look as though they belong in ‘Leave it to Beaver’ instead of the modern
day?
Could you imagine living in a world devoid
of modern technology? No mobile phone, computer, Ipod, DVD player, Washing
machine, Microwave oven, coffee machine...not even an indoor toilet!
How about losing your financial independence
– your job / career, credit cards? Unless you belonged to a wealthy family, you
most likely finished formal education when you were 15 years old and then went
on to work in retail, manufacturing or as a secretary. Marriage and childbirth
ended any dreams of a career as your role was to be a housewife and mother –
for the rest of your life!
On top of losing all of these things, imagine now that you cannot tell a soul about your predicament. Not one person, because if you do, there’s every chance you will be thrown into the local mental asylum and locked up for the rest of your life.
And if all of that isn’t bad enough,
imagine that a gorgeous woman has the hots for your husband and you aren’t
there to keep her away from him because you have time travelled backwards, over years in the past – to 1961.
What’s happening to the business you’ve
spent years building up, and the contract you just signed with the biggest
Manager of celebrities and football players in the city – the very contract you
have worked years for. The one that will catapult you all the way to the top of
your profession as a Public Relations agent.
Could things get any worse? Of course they
can! Things always have to get worse before they get better, don’t they?
Welcome to Juliette Wilde’s world!
Blurb –
The universe has sent Juliette a sign. She
wishes it had been an email instead...
Juliette’s career is on fire, her marriage
and family are in melt-down, and a red-hot goddess wants her husband. But those
are the least of her worries when she wakes up on her lounge room floor in the
year 1961.
Without any of her modern conveniences —
nanny, housekeeper, surgically attached mobile phone, designer wardrobe, and
intravenous lattes — Juliette is just over fifty years out of her comfort zone.
But as she takes on the role of a 1961 housewife, with gritted liberated teeth,
she discovers an unexpected truth: slower doesn’t mean boring, at home doesn’t
mean dull, and priorities don’t mean sacrifices.
As she finds unexpected friendships, a
resuscitated love life, tragedy and triumph, Juliette begins to wonder if she
really wants to return home after all.
