Summary: Xanthe and her mother, Flora, leave London behind for a fresh start, taking over an antiques shop in the historic town of Marlborough. Xanthe finds she has an affinity with some of the antiques she finds: While she touches them she can sense something of their past and the stories they hold. When she has an intense connection to a beautiful silver chatelaine she has to know more. It is while she's examining the chatelaine that she's transported back to the seventeenth century, the time of its origin. She discovers there is an injustice in its history. The spirit that inhabits her new home confronts her and charges her with saving her daughter's life, threatening to Flora's if she fails. While Xanthe fights to save the girl amid the turbulent days of 1605, she meets architect Samuel Appleby. He may also be the reason she can't bring herself to return to the present.--[Book Jacket].
