"A heartfelt and heartwarming love story!" -Jessica Brockmole, internationally bestselling author of Letters from Skye

"... its conclusion left me teary-eyed and tingling with the best kind of goosebumps." -Erin Lindsay McCabe, USA Today bestselling author of I Shall Be Near To You

Love and adventure don't mix, or so thinks Eleanor Morgan, a poetry teacher in 1918 Oklahoma. And she's heard the call to adventure all her life: through books, through histories and fairy stories. This kind of imaginative escape has given her life some of its most bright and shining days. And now, as a grown woman, she's desirous of early twentieth-century life's real adventures, and a future with no thought of romance.

But sparks fly -- both literal and figurative -- on the night she meets Erwin Phipps, a chemist-turned-lieutenant, on his way home after the Armistice. Their chance encounter is brief but electric, one she's not able to forget, as much as she tries. But is she brave enough to let love in?
