I read this book when I was in middle school, 12-13 years ago? It was about a teenage girl who somehow traveled back in time ( I think she hit her head or something) and ended up in the past. I want to say colonial times?
She ended up on an island or coastal area with people who either were shipwrecked or ended up there to settle? She meets a boy a little older who basically falls in love with her/protects her.
There is an evilish older man in this story. I think he is influencing the community and tries to take her for himself if I remember right? I can't remember how.
*Spoiler I think) The boy eventually gives her his rosary and tries to court her if I remember right. I can't recall.
I do remember thinking the book was called the Devil's Arithmetic but I don't think it was the same one that is so popular now. I wonder if someone put another cover on it?
Can anyone think of a book along this line? I remember just loving the story but I can't remember!!
