Book Synopsis
Can love offer a new future...in the past?
A mysterious gown, unexpected courage, and a love that transcends time.
Nursing student Lena Lowery faces a grim diagnosis and a dangerous surgery. On the cusp of the life-changing procedure, Lena stays at the Rosswood Plantation Bed and Breakfast for one last weekend with her mother. There in an antique armoire, Lena discovers a Civil War-era gown that holds an unimaginable cure...a trip back in time to when the house served as a hospital.
Confederate Sergeant Caleb Dockery lost his brother, his eye, and nearly his life. Stuck in a makeshift infirmary, he's counting the days until he can return to duty...and seek revenge. When a stranger appears, he suspects she's a spy. If he can't return to duty and find the revenge he craves for his brother's death, he can serve his country by stopping this traitor. But her nursing skills are saving lives, and her courage and independence stirs his heart. When Lena's safety is threatened, Caleb must strain the loyalties that bind him or risk losing her forever.
Caught between a future that holds no promises and a past that could offer new life, Lena must face an extraordinary decision. Should she return to her own time where her days are numbered? Or can she and Caleb find a love that stretches across time?
If you like historical romance with a twist, strong female characters, and heroes that transcend eras, you'll love this journey through time that tests the limits of love.
Review Quotes
This story is more than a swoony romance or an engaging time-travel novella brimming with layers and possibilities (though it's definitely both of those!). It's also a look at what to do with the time we're given - no matter what era that might be in - and a gentle reminder that God has placed each of us where we are for a purpose. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the unique way McGee tied all the layers together in the end. A perfect choice for a quick weekend read that you'll be able to think about for a long time. --Reading is my Superpower
This exciting story will take you on a journey unlike any other you've experienced before! A dashing hero, that will have you reaching for your fan, and a heroine that I'm sure we can all identify with. If you are looking for a fun story that will allow you to escape the daily stress, this is a story you won't want to pass up! --Joy of Reading Caleb will steal your heart, Lena will make you smile, and Rosswood Plantation will captivate you. A story that is worth reading all over again. --A Baker's Perspective
