There she encounters a mysterious old man who carries an old-fashioned timepiece and key -- and her lif... more »e is abruptly altered.
Kallie, a young Mormon woman, stands at a critical crossroads in her life. She was raised in an active LDS family, but has somehow lost touch with herself and her faith. Her job as a historical researcher doesn't help; her boss has a decidedly anti-Mormon bias and never hesitates to let it show.
Through her encounter with the mysterious old man, Kallie is suddenly plunged back into the nineteenth century, complete with a pioneer family who claim her as their own. The experience teaches her some important lessons about faith, humility, and obedience. And she falls in love with handsome young Caleb Hollister -- nearly 90 years before she is born. Will they meet again?
As Kallie searches for the old man with the timepiece, who she believes has the key to return her to the twentieth century, she learns a great lesson about repentance and change of heart. With powerful imagery and exceptional writing skills, Laurel Mouritsen has created a moving and timeless novel that you will read and enjoy again and again.« less
