Outlander- Beneath Foreign Stars

I was twelve when time left me behind.

My mother crossed.
My sister crossed.

I didn't.

One moment, we stood together at the stones. The next, they were gone and I was left behind in a world that no longer felt like mine.

For seven years, I lived with the knowledge that my family existed somewhere beyond reach. Somewhere in another century, building a life without me. I grew up with memories, unanswered questions, and the stubborn certainty that I would find my way back to them somehow.

At nineteen, I finally do.

But time does not wait for anyone.

The family I dreamed of finding is real but changed. My mother carries years I was never part of. My sister has built a life of her own. And my father... my father is Jamie Fraser, fierce, impossible, overprotective, and somehow both a stranger and the man I have loved all my life through stories alone.

Then there is the century itself.

A world that expects women to be quiet, obedient, and graceful.

I am none of those things.

I come from a world they cannot begin to understand. I say the wrong things. Wear the wrong things. Think too loudly. Fight too hard. And somehow manage to cause chaos wherever I go.

But for the first time in years, I am no longer alone.

And somewhere between family, war, history, and a place I was never meant to belong... I make the catastrophic mistake of falling in love.
