Her cell phone is dead and she has no idea where she is. After a bad fall in the river 16 yearold Sophia suddenly finds herself in nineteenth century Kansas. She struggles to adjust to new food new entertainment and a new family. She is still a twentyfirst century Muslim girl though so slavery is intolerable and the way Native Americans are treated is unacceptable. Sophia copes the best she can as she tries to understand how she got there how she can help those shes met and if she will ever get back. Sophias Journal is a fresh take on a pivotal moment in American history. Filled with adventure romance and selfdiscovery it offers a glimpse into a world halfforgotten from a vantage point like no other. Quite simply an excellent read. J.M.
