Summary: Following the death of her beloved grandfather, best-selling author Anne Gallagher travels to Ireland to honor his final wish – for his ashes to be spread on one particular lough near where he grew up in Ireland. While out on the lough, she is caught in a strange mist and when she is rescued, she finds herself no longer in 2001 but in 1921. This Ireland is a dangerous place as it is a county on the brink of war, trying to gain independence from the British.

Anne is taken in by Dr. Thomas Smith, who has mistaken her for her great-grandmother. She is surprised to find her grandfather as a young boy and struggles to adjust to the 1920s as she is forced to pretend she is someone else. Will she find a way back to her time? Or is she destined to become a part of the history she has fervently studied?
