Frequencies of a Paper Fortune

Oona Carlow died a lonely, cynical tycoon. Waking up inside the claustrophobic, neon-lit prize chute of a claw machine in 1989, the newly minted five-year-old kindergartener realizes she has a second chance to save her hopelessly naive parents. Hamstrung by their blind filial piety to Oona's abusive grandmother, the family is on the brink of ruin. Oona's solution? Claiming she 'heard it on the local radio,' she secretly orchestrates the launch of a wildly popular street food stall selling Sugar-Glazed Sun-Pockets. As the stall blossoms into a boardwalk empire, Oona vows to do things differently this time, remaining kind-hearted to a fault and sharing her childhood with Julian, a quiet boy who becomes her whole world. But Oona is hoarding her wealth for a specific date, believing an impending financial crash is the ultimate enemy she must buy her way out of. Will her endless generosity doom her family's savings, or will she realize she misunderstood the rules of her regression entirely before the grandmother springs her final trap?
