Eva Ward comes back to Cornwall to scatter her film star sister Katrina's ashes. The house where they spent childhood summers belongs to the Hallett family, old friends who welcome her return. But Eva discovers something impossible about this place. She can slip backward through time and speak with people who lived there centuries ago. In the eighteenth century, she meets Daniel Butler and falls in love with him. Eva faces an agonizing choice. She can stay in her present life or find a way to join Daniel in his time. Her sister is gone, but Eva must decide where she truly belongs. The past pulls at her heart while the present holds everything she has ever known. Scattering Katrina's ashes becomes more than a final goodbye. Eva must choose between two worlds and two different versions of herself.
