From the outside looking in, Beth Peters has it all; a high-powered job, a strong marriage, and two gifted and obedient children.

Yet, as the old saying goes, things are rarely as they seem.

In reality, her once adoring kids now detest her, her smother-in-law has no boundaries, and counseling with the world's most annoying hippie therapist has done nothing for her struggling marriage.

Trouble at school and hints of an affair finally bring Beth to the end of her rope. Escape is tempting. Drastic changes are certain. But waking up in 1987 is not quite what she had in mind.

Following her on this dream-like journey to the past is daughter Maddie, just thirteen, but with problems of her own. Overstressed by life and over-stimulated by social media, Beth and Maddie are horrified to be back in the days of mix tapes, not-so-smart phones, and slow, intimate family dinners around the table. Can they work together long enough to overcome their issues and get back to the present? Or will struggles they refuse to acknowledge keep them in the land of big hair forever?
