Inhaltsangabe

Samantha is haunted by vivid dreams - flashes of a stately antebellum house, the whispered name “Josephine” on the wind. She feels an unexplainable pull, as if she belongs in the past more than the present.

When Samantha discovers the house from her dreams is now a bed and breakfast, she seeks answers. There she meets the elderly owner and her handsome grandson, stumbles upon a worn and familiar corn husk doll, and suffers a fall that unlocks the unbelievable truth - she is the reincarnation of Josephine, a young woman torn between the beliefs of her slave-holding family and her bond with Benjamin, a slave.

As Samantha’s memories of her former life flood back, she becomes Josephine again, living in the South on the brink of the Civil War. Forced to grapple with the harsh realities of slavery, Josephine must make an agonizing choice - remain loyal to her slaveholding family and their reprehensible traditions or her friend Benjamin, a young man enslaved by her family.

Samantha/Josephine’s enthralling journey through time leads her to confront the injustices of the past head-on. A powerful tale of courage, love, and moral reckoning amid one of the darkest chapters of America’s past.
