An elementary teacher crashes her car in the Ohio River and washes up in 1889 with a Scottish farmer trying to revive her. Her great-great-grandmother takes her in and she quickly finds herself teaching in a one-room schoolhouse with the wealthy Brian Everbright offering her a life of luxury if she would be his pet of a wife. Evan came to America to make his fortune with his own braun and his rugged good looks make Lily question what sensible really means. Would either of these Victorian men understand her desire to change the lives of her students through education? Both men are so foreign to her, yet they both catch her heart. Will she follow her feelings or go back to the future?
