Autumn Driver is living an unremarkable existence as a 30-something in the 21st century. Trapped in a job she hates and a lackluster love life, she finds solace, wisdom, and a little rebellion in an old, dusty diary from her great-grandmother, June Parker. She discovers that things weren't so different in the 1930s, and that a woman from another era can help us navigate the problems of the modern age.
