When Thomas awakens in a twenty-first century hospital, his immediate thought is of his children and the life from which he's been pulled away. However, once he sees the advances that have been made, he's intrigued and wants to learn everything he can. What he wants to learn the most is how this has happened and who Ellie really is. Will he finally get all of the answers he's been seeking for so long?

Finally back in the twenty-first century, it's time for Ellie to face the life and the family she left behind whether she's ready or not. How will she ever tell them about where she's been? Will Thomas stay with her once he learns the truth?

The centuries that have passed by in the blink of an eye have left Thomas more than a little disadvantaged. Adjusting to this new world is going to be the hardest thing he has ever done. With Ellie's help, he establishes a good foundation, but there's only so much he can learn from her when she is bound and determined to keep him safe from the same fate she suffered in Williamsburg. How can he stand on his own when she is adamantly opposed to it?

Will Ellie find a way to get Thomas home or will he now be stuck in the future as she was in the past? Will they ever have a chance to be together without everything around them pulling them apart?
