Xanthe has the gift of learning about an object's history just from holding it so when she picks up an antique silver chatelaine she knows she must have it at any cost. She and her mother are going through hard times and have decided to start again in a small English village and open an antique store. Xanthe's only concern is her mother's health and making sure the shop is a success until she meets up with a very insistent ghost who makes Xanthe an offer she can't refuse. It is a good thing that Xanthe is an old soul and wears period clothes because she is whisked away into the early 1600's to help rescue a serving girl that has been wrongly accused. The little village is delightful and full of well-meaning quirky characters plus there is the knowledge that she is her mom's only helpmate but there is also someone on the other side that wants Xanthe to stay. A must for all those Outlander fans or anyone who enjoys the trials of time travel. An open-ended ending leaves room for the possibility of more books to come.
