In book one of the series, Sam Harkins, a young man living in modern-day Seattle, discovers he's in 1930-90 years away from home. Wounded, confused and stalked by a serial killer, he's on the run again. Ruth Riley, a rural farm girl, arrives in town with a sewing machine and the clothes on her back. Determined to make good, but frustrated in her search for work, she soon learns the word "seamstress" is a euphemism for prostitute. Desperate, discouraged and penniless, she meets Sam on her first night working in a bordello. Separated by nine decades, can their budding love survive? Behind the scenes, a pair of time agents frantically try to recapture Sam while repairing the time threads he's shredded, but will their patches hold? Millions of lives depend on it.
