From childhood, writer Anne Gallagher has been enchanted by Ireland and proud of her Irish roots. A young American woman comes to Ireland hoping to learn the history of her own family—a history full of many mysteries and closely intertwined with the most tragic pages of the Irish revolution.
Her search for details leads Anne to an incredible time displacement. She finds herself in 1921 and becomes at the center of the fight for Irish independence. Doctor Thomas Smith, who saved her life, mistakes Anne for another woman and suspects her of spying. But Thomas’s attraction to the mysterious “guest” is stronger than he can resist—and his feelings are returned.
Anne becomes involved in the political struggle, the outcome of which she knows in advance. She has no right to influence the course of historical events—but can she change the history of her family because of a great feeling?
