She drove out of the past… and straight into her future.
Thelma Van der Graaf was the perfect 1950s housewife—charming, stylish, and unquestionably devoted to her family. On Hemlock Street, she was known for her tasteful jokes, immaculate garden, and the kind of chaste flirtation that never garnered attention. Even her secret lover, Sandy, understood the rules: love had to be hidden, tucked away behind lace curtains and closed doors.
But one foggy night, racing to the market while her son lay sick on the couch, Thelma vanished into a heavy fog…
And reappeared in 2018.
There’s no way back… only forward.
Her husband and Sandy are gone. Her now-elderly son, bitter and confused, believes she abandoned him. Struggling to make sense of the internet, new Christian dogma, and seatbelt laws, Thelma finds unlikely allies in a college-aged granddaughter and a support group for other accidental time travelers.
And then there’s Gretchen, a neighbor whose down-to-earth views and affable personality instantly catches Thelma’s heart.
As Thelma adjusts to the twenty-first century, she rediscovers who she truly is beneath the golden curls and red lipstick. For the first time in her life, she doesn’t have to hide. In this bold new world, she has the chance to reclaim her voice, pursue new love, and finally become the woman Sandy would have been proud of.
All while enjoying the same Californian sun she has known for decades.
MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME is a time-travel story that is equal parts women’s fiction and romance. It is low-spice and has a HEA—albeit an unconventional one.
