Filming during re-enactment day, Amanda begins to explore the home, including the prohibited third floor. Suddenly and without warning, Amanda finds herself transported back in time to 1884 where, because she is brandishing her camcorder that he mistakes for a weapon, she is accused by Brisbane himself of being a spy in search of Edison's secrets. Immediately placed under house arrest, she finds herself a hostage to history. She quickly becomes accustomed to the lifestyle and routine of the time and begins to grow closer to Jonathan. The quiet of their growing love is shattered when a scorned traitor sets them up, forcing the pair to work together to unravel the secrecy of missing documents before Amanda is arrested for treason and history is changed forever.

Soon, Lauren's psychic tendencies were in full swing. She courted ghostly visitors in her home. She frequently conversed with her mom's friend Jeannie. When a premonition about a falling painting at her Catholic school proved to be pan out, she was removed from the school, but not before safeguarding her fellow students from the hazard. And, while she enjoyed the popularity her skills afforded her at high school and beyond, as she came of age, she chose to play them down. When, as an adult, she finally accepted her gift as her calling in life, Lauren emerged as a leading psychic medium, who has helped police investigations, led paranormal excursions, and is the owner and operator of Linda Lauren's Embracing The Universe Metaphysical Center in Mountainside, New Jersey. Her story not only reveals the fascinating path of a psychic medium in realizing the full potential of her natural gifts, it is a rousing testament to the deep satisfaction anyone can channel by tapping into their individual attributes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50386545213713,"sku":"CIN1492124389G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51192700535057,"sku":"NIN9781492124382","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51518348362001,"sku":"CIN1492124389VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1492124389.jpg?v=1751148887"},{"product_id":"sentimental-journey-book-linda-lauren-9780615686141","title":"Sentimental Journey","description":"The difference between twenty-four hours and twenty-four years is obvious.
