Benjamin Willson and Charlotte Elizabeth Ross fall in love with one another amid the American Revolution, forming a bond that cannot be shattered by death—or time.
The Battle of Johnstown tears them apart with one vicious, indifferent musket ball, but the two souls will find their way back to one another over two hundred and thirty-three years later as Ben Wilson and Charlotte Elizabeth Ross the Second.
As the two reunited lovers share memories of their lives so long ago, they unearth a journal that belonged to the son they created just before Benjamin fell. Expecting to learn his story in the pages of his book, they are unprepared to learn that it is a tribute to his stepfather, Jacob Cooper.
Jacob had loved Charlotte since childhood, but the first time he saw her with Benjamin he knew any dream he'd ever had of claiming her for his own was hopeless. Worse, Jacob genuinely liked and respected Benjamin so he accepted his fate, although still tormented every time he saw the two of them together.
But when Benjamin's life drains away on a cold and lonely battlefield, Jacob steps in to help Charlotte pick up the pieces of her shattered soul. He knows Charlotte will never love him as she loved Benjamin, yet he marries her, takes on the role of father to Benjamin's son, and raises the boy to understand the precious gift of his heritage—and freedom.
Ben and Charlotte will become lost in the words of their son from the past as they learn about the torch that Jacob Cooper carried for his only love, and what it means to keep Liberty's Promise.
