When I was in Utah two weeks ago on vacation, I met young adult author Lisa Mangum at a Deseret Book store. She sat at a table by the entrance and I stopped to say hi.

Lisa wrote time-travel trilogy, The Hourglass Door, which I had seen somewhere a while ago. I bought all three books since she signed them and carried them in the airport (they were heavy) and just finished the third book, The Forgotten Locket.

Abby is a high school senior ready for adventure when she meets and falls in love with Dante, a prisoner sent from fifteenth-century Italy into the present time, when they work together on their school play. But Zo, another prisoner, has dark plans that threaten everyone.
