Just a twenty-first century gal with nineteenth-century problems . . .
It defies all odds for Jessie to be the sole survivor of a plane crash over the Atlantic; it defies all reason that she’s rescued by a warship in 1805. Adrift in an unfamiliar time and abandoned by the sea captain who she thought would be her protector, Jessie takes a job as maid and companion to Margaret Goodenough—the famous author whose yet-to-be completed novel contains the first lesbian kiss in British Literature. As Jessie and Margaret grow ever closer, she must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the course of history.
