By 
This review is from: Saving Brooksie (Kindle Edition)

This is an awesome tale telling the tale of two public separated by 80 years. Patience Webb is a Hollywood actress in 1928 who doesn’t agree with the direction her career is going. She escapes Hollywood and her agent and decides to start a whole new life devoid of agents, bosses, and men. Eddie is a 23-year ancient man who inherits a house in 2009. Rumor has it that his house is haunted and the 1920′s music blaring from his basement seems to agree with this theory. When he investigates the music, he discovers a door in his basement that leads directly to an amusement park in 1928. He also discovers a world everywhere description tells of the death of Patience Webb in 1928. This turns out to be a problem being that Eddie has grown a small fond of her. It keeps you hanging on to the very intense end.
