Yesterday's Boys

If you thought you knew where Yesterday's Boys was going next, then you will be quite surprised to discover there is a new turn to this time travel tale. The latest installment to A Slip in Time takes us to a different decade with a previously unknown branch of the family tree. As you learn how these two young time travelers fit into the story, you will become totally involved in their lives. You will fear for them and ache for them. You will worry about them, because as the two boys grow to manhood, they must face many obstacles that only time can work out.

It was the year 1932 when Johnny and Bobby played with their father's pocket watch. They were shocked to discover they were mysteriously whisked away to the year 1882, where they found themselves on the boardwalk of the Twin Lake depot. When Duane London, the stationmaster, discovered them, he sent them home with Fran and Luke to be cared for until they could be reunited with their parents.

As the Graingers try to figure out who these children are, Fran realizes that she has seen their behavior before. Extreme thirst and hunger, coupled with their style of dress and unusual use of slang words can only mean one thing. Is it possible they have traveled through space and time, as she and her sister Dora had done? If so, where did they come from, and how will she help them return?

These questions are quickly solved, but what happens when two little boys go home? How do they explain their absence to their frantic parents? How does their time away affect their lives from that day forward? How will the historical events of the day interfere with their plans?

You won't want to miss the next installment of this time slip series, the Clark and Grainger families, and the sleepy town of Twin Lake, Michigan.
