About this ebook
Behind the waterfall waits 1796--and the girl who is slowly capturing his heart. But if Mark travels through time to save Susanna, will her brutal world trap him too?
While mountain biking in the woods, Mark Lewis spots a mysterious girl dressed in odd clothing, standing behind a waterfall. When she comments on the strange machine he's riding, he suspects something isn't right. When Susanna claims to be an indentured servant from 1796, he wonders if she's crazy, yet he feels compelled to find out more.
Mark enters a long-distance relationship with Susanna through the temperamental barrier of Whisper Falls. Curious about her world, Mark searches through history to learn about the brutal life she's trapped in. But knowledge can be dangerous. Soon he must choose between changing the past--or dooming the girl he can't stop thinking about to a lifetime of misery.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I decided to read this after finishing the author's Wish trilogy. This is a carefully researched, sensitive and intriguing historical story with a bit of magical realism. Readers who like time travel, romance and very likable characters will very much enjoy it. Halfway through, I ordered the other two of the series that are available in print.
