Jade has spent the last two decades being the good wife and mother, but pretending her marriage is a good one, is slowly killing her. Since the beginning, her husband has lived in his own world - purposely avoiding her. Unfulfilled and more lonely than she cares to admit, Jade finds solace with her farm animals, volunteer jobs and learning the ukulele, mere distractions from her unhappiness. She dreams of companionship and aches for the kind of love that withstands the test of time ... but it will take a miracle for her to find that. When Jade awakens on a cobblestone street, confused and scared, she is seized by a man dressed in odd, historical clothing and speaking a language she can't understand. Sure that she's having a nightmare - or an aneurism - Jade is taken by Tiberius to his sister's home, where she hopes to find answers. But once they arrive at Claudia's house, Jade realizes everything around her is real. It's real. It's Roman. And it's year 85 AD. Unable to comprehend how or why she traveled back in time, Jade does the best she can to learn the language and to help with the day to day work at Claudia's house, fully expecting to be treated as a mere servant. But what she finds is the acceptance, love, and kindness ... the life she's yearned for.But can it last? How can one find a future while living in the past?
