“I've been numb for years,
and I didn't realize it until after you appeared and - and made me feel
something. Since then, these past two weeks I've been awake. Alive. Restless
for you to return - and afraid that you wouldn't.”
When
tragedy strikes Michele Windsor’s world, she is forced to uproot her life and
move across the country to New York City, to live with the wealthy,
aristocratic grandparents she’s never met. In their old Fifth Avenue mansion filled
with a century’s worth of family secrets, Michele discovers a diary that
hurtles her back in time to the year 1910. There, in the midst of the glamorous
Gilded Age, Michele meets the young man with striking blue eyes who has haunted
her dreams all her life – a man she always wished was real, but never imagined
could actually exist. And she finds herself
falling for him, into an otherworldly, time-crossed romance.
Michele is soon leading a double life, struggling to balance her contemporary high school world with her escapes into the past. But when she stumbles upon a terrible discovery, she is propelled on a race through history to save the boy she loves – a quest that will determine the fate of both of their lives.

TimekeeperWhen
Philip Walker appears as a new student in Michele Windsor's high school class,
she is floored. He is the love she thought she lost forever when they said
goodbye during her time travels last century. Overjoyed that they can resume
the relationship they had a lifetime ago, Michele eagerly approaches him and
discovers the unthinkable: he doesn't remember her. In fact, he doesn't seem to
remember anything about the Philip Walker of 1910.
Michele then finds her father's journals, which tell stories of his time-traveling past. As she digs deeper, she learns about his entanglement with a mysterious and powerful organization called the Time Society and his dealings with a vengeful Windsor ancestor. Michele soon finds herself at the center of a rift over 120 years in the making, one whose resolution will have life-or-death consequences.
