Time Signature II Summary
Time Signature II: The Regrets of Our Past is the much-anticipated sequel to Time Signature, by Irish-Italian-American author Carlo Kennedy. This is the continuing story of the adventures of struggling musician Chris Agnello, his genius sister Sofia, her best friend Sara, and their mysterious cousin Jimmy - as well as the O'Connells who came from the 18th century.
Will Jimmy be able to change the past and save his parents from the accident that killed them over twenty years earlier? And what happens when a young African American woman is accidentally thrown back into the past - into the south in 1876? Can Sofia use the time machine to save her before she becomes a victim of the lust and greed of powerful men, and before the arrival of a terrible epidemic that will kill thousands of people? And what happens when the time machine is stolen by a power-hungry and mob-connected politician? How will they stop him from changing the past and owning the future?
