It was a strange sensation--like falling through a tunnel filled with bizarre lights and sounds. Shades of blue, black, and gray engulfed and caressed her, as if the tunnel were a living thing. She kept falling deeper and deeper into the abyss, not sure if she was awake or caught in some strange dream. When morning comes, Careen Renolds wakes up in a ditch by the side of the road. She is covered in mud, nearly frozen in her nightshirt, and left without a clue about how she got there--or where "there" is. The old-fashioned Dryden brothers come to Careen's aid, but fear sets in as she realizes she is not in her "world" anymore. Trapped in a world that is vastly different from anything she knows, Careen's mission is to find a way back home. With unexpected help along the way, she soon discovers that the modern conveniences of her world can't compare to the love and companionship she finds with Conner Dryden. Will the young couple be able to bridge the gap between their two worlds, or will Careen lose the only man she has ever loved?
