What should one do when they find themselves suddenly in 1899? This was certainly not a question Aria ever thought she would ask herself-not yesterday, not today, and certainly not on the 2nd of October 1899. After all, she is just a junior journalist at an independent media company with dreams and passions, living a simple life. She is determined to make a difference by telling people's stories and giving a voice to the voiceless. What she truly seeks is normalcy and happiness, hoping to move past the trauma that has haunted her for the last ten years. But everything changes when she purchases an antique silver box from a mysterious stranger who speaks of fate. Ignoring her warnings, Aria wakes up overnight as a 21-year-old aristocratic lady in a world where societal norms confine women to strict codes of behavior. With her modern sensibilities clashing against the rigid expectations of 1899, she meets historical figures she had only heard about in her father's history lectures, making her question the nature of her new reality. As she navigates her new life, Aria must contend with a pestering mother eager to see her married off, a bickering elder brother who constantly challenges her, and a pair of ocean-blue eyes she just can't seem to look away from. Torn between two worlds, Aria must confront questions of destiny, family, and love. Will she fight to return to the life she once knew, or will she embrace the possibilities of a life she never imagined?

We know a lot about the American Civil War. We know about the battle at Gettysburg and how Sherman burned Atlanta but do you know many individual stories? Follow Oliver and Naomi from their arranged marriage through the war. It will be quite a journey as Naomi faces the war home alone and Oliver fights battle after battle. She will face one of the cruelest band of the southern militia army as she tries to protect the people she loves most. This is a story about the ones left home during the war. The one's who earned no great merit or place in history. The forgotten heroes of a bloody war that stood for freedom and equality for all Americans. I based some of facts in the story on writings left behind by my family that lived here in Indiana in the 1860s. My ancestors were Quaker and they were abolitionists in Indiana. We still have their homes used in the underground railroad in our family. My other side was endangered servants from Ireland and my great-great-grandfather was, unfortunately, one of the soldiers that came to Indiana while serving under John Hunt Morgan. He was the rest of my family's enemy. https://www.wattpad.com/646167251-the-forgotten-ones-a-completed-steamy-historical Please keep in mind this story is based in America during the 1860s and it was a different time.
