Jerry Tanner finds himself naked and alone in the wilderness of Massachusetts Bay Colony. After receiving aid from Matthew, a young man his own age, he continues a journey of discovery to find out not only about his family but also about himself and a young woman named Rebecca. In his travels, Jerry is assisted by Matthew's family and two college professors--one sparking the desire for his quest and the other helping facilitate his research. Is Jerry capable of finding the truth and steering clear of the hysteria gripping 1690s Salem? Is he willing to accept an offer of timeless love?
