Emma Dalton wants to have a memorable summer before starting college at BYU, but she stumbles into more than she ever thought possible. Emma starts the summer looking for Mr. Right at local dances, and by the end of the summer she is dancing in his arms. David North is everything she's ever dreamed of, but there is a slight problem - he lives in the 1860's!

Emma's desire to uncover the truth about a mysterious ancestor sends her on an errand for the Lord in a place she's never imagined - the untamed West of the 19th century. An accident catapults Emma back among her forefathers. A chance meeting with Brigham Young puts her on track to find the answers she seeks but she must first survive a dangerous trip on horseback to lawless Denver, and escape the evil men seeking to thwart her mission. The journey, however, allows her to find true love and build a family bond that spans generations.

But Emma doesn't know how - or if - she'll return to modern times. Is she meant to live her life in the 1800's with David? And if she does stay, what will happen to the family history information she has sacrificed so much to recover?
