light time travel, dystopian. ending flat but couldn't stop reading. pandemic and cure is $$$ so ppl can time travel to earn money. a woman time travels and promises partner to meet in the future. she goes through shit

Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix
book from childhood. it's like the movie The Village where these families live in a bad science experience in the 1800s but it's actually 1990s. children are dying in the village so a kid needs to get help from the real world
