Allie Porter died a hundred years before she was born. At least that's how the obituary read. What she brushes off as a fluke suddenly becomes reality through a freak accident, catapulting Allie back to 1884.
Consumed with trying to find her way back, she's distracted by Merrick Stone, a boy with an elusively dark past. The more Allie gets to know him, the more she finds herself debating her desire to return home. When his brother, Bryce, enters the picture and is immediately smitten by Allie, it causes unending tension between the brothers.
Shortly after her arrival, two shady individuals surface and begin stalking Allie, demanding something she doesn't have. When she refuses to cooperate they allude to a chasm in her past - a mother who abandoned her at birth. These men insinuate her mother is somehow involved in her current predicament. If she returns home it will destroy any hope of learning about her mother's disappearance.
Allie knows that if she stays it means death, as her obituary looms closer. But leaving means losing the boy she's in love with. Her mind yearns for the future, but her heart now belongs to the past. It's time for Allie to make a heart-wrenching decision, one that she doesn't know if she'll survive.
