Desperate to hide, Kat flees. Now, trapped in time, her survival and return are threatened by her fractured heart. Ensnared by hopelessness and grief, twenty-four-year-old Kat Shelton accepts a position as the curator of an old English estate with the sole purpose of running away from her memories and to bury life's pain. What she finds on her journey is much more than she bargained for--an arrogant employer, patronizing staff, and a chaotic system to name a few. Then to top it all off, an unforeseen tumble down the antiquated cellar steps brings her to a sudden halt. Waking up in the year 1878, and mistaken for the children's new tutor, Kat scrambles to navigate nineteenth-century British lifestyle and culture. An impossible feat if it weren't for the help of the Gilford girls and their charming and handsome brother, Merritt. Will Kat find the strength, love, and forgiveness she yearns for in the past? Or will her path bring her back to the reality she fears?
