A young widow feels at a loss for what to do. She escapes Atlanta to move into a historical plantation that is given to her by the Mother of her deceased husband. Once on the plantation, Emma starts having these spells where she faints and feels like she is the young Elizabeth that lived on the Plantation during the Civil War. During these spells she wakes up in the location that Elizabeth was in , not the location that Emma was when she faints. She is starting to feel that she is going crazy but does not tell anyone what is happening as she is afraid they would overreact. The spells start happening more frequently and she is actually able to bring them on. She feels compelled to find out what happened to Elizabeth. An artist that lives on the property has found her in these spells several times and she decides to confide in him. He believes her but also is concerned about her safety. He starts staying at the house at night for her protection. They had an instant attraction when they met and eventually a relationship develops. This book is a compelling read with a surprise ending. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed this book a lot. The back and forth in time storytelling held my interest and I wanted to hurry up and get to the end of the story. I love Civil War history and loved reading the story in that time period. While it was predictable it was a sweet story. Definitely a perfect read for a lazy summer day.

This was such a good story. The plot was interesting and not what I expected, it’s not the typical time travel romance I’m used to. I loved Emma’s character and how she handled everything, way better than I would have. 😅 I’m not going to say anything more because I don’t want to spoil anything but if you are looking for something out of the ordinary to read, then this is the book for you.

Emma Clayton is deeply affected by the death of her husband and she chooses to stay at an estate given to her by her mother-in-law of the Civil era to deal with that loss. She encounters the caretaker, Caleb Anderson there. Their attraction is palpable from the start which leads to a believable connection forming between them one moment at a time.

Emma starts to have dreams that consume her and lead her to experience the life of a 19th century woman, Elizabeth. She is curious about this woman and this new obsession serves as a distraction from the painful experiences of her life. Anyone in her place would wonder if Elizabeth is real or a figment of her imagination. She does so and she gradually discovers what happened to her. Caleb is an amazing companion during this time and he helps her come to terms with Elizabeth's story. This brings them closer together and forges a deep connection between them. Overall, this is a wonderful book and keeps you guessing and wondering what will happen next.

A solid 4 stars
With Emma grieving for her husband and moving to an estate gifted by her mother-in-law the reader is taken on a delicately and well-thought out story of grief and dealing with emotions. I liked that Emma and Caleb's relationship was played out in a believable and gentle way.
Thank for you this.

Emma grieves the loss of her husband in a new house gifted to her by her mother-in-law. She met the caretaker/artist Caleb in her new house. She also starts to dream about another woman who lived during the civil war.... The past and present mingles....

This is a deeply moving book about grief and learning to move on... A wonderful book! I got this book from the publisher as an ARC in exchange for my opinion.
