Fueled by curiosity and her dream of becoming a big-time journalist, Bella Thomas digs deep into the history of her small-town Mayflower, Illinois.
The town had thrived until a local factory burned down many years ago, killing its founder, Henry Hinchcliffe, widowing his new wife whose identity was lost, and devastating the economy. Bella vows to unravel the mystery of Henry’s widow and publish a story about her, so she’ll be forgotten again.
In a twist of fate, instead of finding the past, Bella is snatched out of the present and transported to the factory, one year before the fire. Soon, she can't seem to stop herself from falling in love with the sweet and swoon-worthy Henry, even though he's destined for another.
Racing against time, can she prevent the fire and save Henry — even if he can never be hers?
