A bond that stretches across centuries...

For Valerie Whitfield, a magical antique clock was the key to an extraordinary journey through time. But the full, warm life she and her husband Alec have created in the seventeenth century is abruptly shaken by a visitor from the life she left behind. Shortly after, Valerie's teenage son, Finn, vanishes without a trace...

Frantic with worry, Valerie and Alec search for their beloved son, but with each passing day, hope grows dimmer. Too late, they realize that Finn has undertaken his own voyage through time.

Valerie would search for a thousand lifetimes to find Finn, but it is a dangerous journey that will separate her and Alec from all they have ever known, and test their strength and resilience to the limits. With every setback, Valerie's resolve only grows. She'll stop at nothing to bring Finn home. Until a shocking revelation changes everything...

An unforgettable, heart-wrenching story of a mother's unconditional love, and the unbreakable ties that bind us across time. A passionate, romantic read for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Barbara Erskine and Susanna Kearsley.
