Okay, I've got a rough plot here. Further character development to come. :)
My MC, and her estranged brother, were raised by their grandmother, who is basically their only living relative (besides each other, of course). Grandma dies at the ripe old age of 90-something; estranged brother turns into more of a dickhead, and comes sniffing around for inheritance money.
In the meantime, MC, while cleaning out grandma's house, finds a bunch of her journals from the 1920s. In reading them, she learns about a whole other side of grandma she never knew. Maybe even a whole other life...family/relatives MC never knew about?
Anyway, this is where I'm stuck - I want the MC to somehow "relive" grandma's life. But I don't know if I want to do this via time travel - which, though it would totally work, might be hokey; or, do I want the MC to stay rooted in present day, and simply revisit some of the people and places as detailed in grandma's journals?
