Yearning for belonging, connection, and an escape from a loveless marriage in which she feels trapped, Gen-Xer Ellie Sorenson finds herself mysteriously transported through time and stuck in the past. As she struggles to navigate life in another century, she quickly adapts to the environment but how can she possibly adapt to the man who's nearly half her age and wants more from her than she's able to give?
Ellie Sorenson was in her mid-forties with little to show for her years aside from trauma and unhappiness. When she found herself suddenly thrust 265 years into the past looking half her age, she must learn how to navigate life in pre-industrial America while exploring her strange new regenerative abilities that appear to somehow be related to her travel through time. With no money, no job, and barely more than an academic understanding of life during the French and Indian War, how will she survive?
When a strange young woman showed up in his hospital with no family and no history, Captain Thomas Burke found himself taking responsibility for her. It is instantly apparent she has little understanding of the world around them, yet at the same time, she seems to have a deeper understanding of it than anyone else. Obviously hiding something, he wants to know what it is. She's an enigma he wants to solve and finds himself drawn to her even if he can't fully trust her.
Can hyper-independent Ellie accept Thomas's help? How can she possibly tell him or anyone else that she's from the future? What will she do if she cannot stay at the military fort in which she's found herself?
