Barbie Burr's new novel starts with a provocative ad online where a 19-year-old college student offers her virginity in order to finance a year abroad.

He's a Harvard scholar, looking to her book for answers to historic mysteries. They are each hungry to know what the other understands about human nature and historic events.

Their honest conversations about religion, the image of man, Pilgrims and witch trials unfold during auto trips from Plymouth to Salem and other historic places in Massachusetts. As they try and pull from each other the information they need, they struggle with a greater mystery--how can they work together with so much sexual tension?
