After surviving the attack in Maine, Emma D’Eresby returns to her ancient English home town carrying the seventeenth-century journal she removed from the university library. She knows that Matthew Lynes has concealed the truth about himself, and distance offers no protection from the emotional and historical implications of what she has discovered.

Matthew follows Emma to England as she confronts family memories, the diary’s evidence and a revelation that changes her understanding of life, death and their relationship. The novel moves between England and Maine while past testimony becomes inseparable from present choices. Emma must decide whether Matthew’s deception makes a future with him impossible or whether the danger lies in the people who would exploit his secret.
