Summary
Elliot, an eco-warrior, has fallen from a tree-top and now lies comatose in a hospital bed. When he fell, he slipped into the past, meeting Lucy, a suffragette from 1913. Alana, excluded from school, passionately follows all Elliot's TV news coverage and, by strange coincidence, it becomes evident that Lucy was Alana's great-grandmother. Alana is able to assist Elliot's recovery as well as using the past to find peace for herself.
