About This Book
Katie isn’t just playing dress-up—she’s stepping back in time! Wearing a corset and buttoned boots isn’t easy, but it makes history come alive in the attic. Feeling the weight of the past helps Katie discover the stories hidden in her family’s treasures, and that’s what makes every visit unforgettable.
