Anna Armstrong
The story
The future isn't foretold. It's hers to make.
After losing her parents, science-obsessed Anna Armstrong is sent to live on her uncle's research farm—where she discovers Mara, a brilliant woman from the future hiding from the consequences of changing time.
Their unlikely friendship carries Anna from the Indiana countryside to alien worlds and headlong into a mystery that could reshape humanity's fate. But as the past begins to unravel and a fragile future hangs in the balance, Anna must learn that hope isn't something you wait for, it's something you build.
A thrilling, heartfelt adventure about grief, friendship, and finding the courage to ask: What will you do with all this future?

“Girl Out of Time is a thrilling adventure filled with hope, humor, and a hero you'll fall in love with.”
“Girl Out of Time is a thought-provoking, intensely absorbing flight of fancy, perfect for every reader who dreams of flying further.”
