Publisher Description
Behind the waterfall waits 1796--and the girl who is slowly capturing his heart. But if Mark travels through time to save Susanna, will her brutal world trap him too?
While mountain biking in the woods, Mark Lewis spots a mysterious girl dressed in odd clothing, standing behind a waterfall. When she comments on the strange machine he's riding, he suspects something isn't right. When Susanna claims to be an indentured servant from 1796, he wonders if she's crazy, yet he feels compelled to find out more.
Mark enters a long-distance relationship with Susanna through the temperamental barrier of Whisper Falls. Curious about her world, Mark searches through history to learn about the brutal life she's trapped in. But knowledge can be dangerous. Soon he must choose between changing the past--or dooming the girl he can't stop thinking about to a lifetime of misery.

Customer Reviews
Excellent, with a concern.
There are some abuse triggers in this story. It really is a good story. Wondering what the next two would be like.
Great book.
I look forward to reading this book to my kids. It's a fascinating paranormal history lesson.
Also, I really like the characters. Suzanne is a brave woman to face her abusers as she did. Mark is great too
This story is about Suzanne, a young, indentured servant living in 1796. She finds a time travel portal in the woods and meets Mark, a current day teen boy. This is the first book in a series, thankfully.
