What happens? Si gets recruited to a government sponsored time travel effort where they combine simulation (a warehouse full of real life sets) and mental manipulation and hypnotism to have people go back in time.  They do extensive debriefs of the travelers because they think that what they do in the past might change the present, that something in the traveler's memory might not exist anymore.  Si goes back to 1882 to observe the mailing of a letter that ends up with the suicide of her grandfather.
