Kate Hunter knows there must be another explanation for why her adoptive father bequeathed her a Pandora's box of items that suggest he murdered someone. She intends to use her FBI background and twenty-first century technology to prove him innocent of any wrongdoing, but the plan runs amuck when she is somehow transported back in time to the year 1857, which lacks the modern resources she needs. Her life is further complicated when she becomes the hostage of handsome, blue-eyed Nathan Walker, a Cheyenne war chief who believes in vision quest dreams, especially the one foretelling the arrival in his life of a woman possessing a pendant with unique fire and ice stones. Will a love that transcends time be enough to keep Kate and Nathan together? Set in the American west at the start of the Indian wars, Passage of time is about finding one's true self while facing impossible choices.
