Description
In this third book of Bonnie Darlene's Plimoth series, twenty-eight-year-old Justin Blake asks himself, Could life be any better? After marrying and becoming a high school history teacher in a small Vermont town, he is no longer haunted by the past but is content and blissfully happy with his wife and children. His once all-consuming preoccupation with his Plimoth odyssey has now faded into a distant memory. He sometimes finds himself questioning if it ever really happened. Justin's charmed and blessed life is made complete with the satisfaction that he is making a difference in the lives of his students. In one chance moment, Justin's fairy tale existence is shattered. His life and reality once more are turned upside down. The what-ifs incessantly plague his mind and spirit. Losing all faith in himself and everything he once held to be true, he begins to descend into a dark, spiraling void. Convinced there is only one way to hold on to his sanity, Justin flees from the present and retreats into the past. Will he ever find his way back?
