Willa Cather is destined to become famous, and that's why the far future abducts her. The sixteen-year-old who often identifies as "William Cather" is swept into a transformed Earth, and her only hope of escape comes from a much older and more experienced Willa.
"A genuine museum had been established, every room jammed with artifacts, including reproductions of the various books they would write. Willa couldn't help but stare at her name and the unfamiliar titles. Song of the Lark, she read. My Antonia. And Death Comes for the Archbishop. She tried to sense the meaning behind those words. But where she had anticipated some deep emotional reaction, she found nothing beyond surprise and mild curiosity directed at whatever lay beyond those colorful, even gaudy covers."
Robert Reed is a Nebraskan author, and he writes science fiction, and "Willa" might be literature's only example of a time-traveling Willa Cather.
