Publisher's summary

Desperate to hide, Kat flees. Now, trapped in time, her survival and return are threatened by her tortured heart.

Ensnared by hopelessness and grief, 24-year-old Kat Shelton accepts a position as the curator of an old English estate with the sole purpose of running away from her memories and to bury life's pain.

What she finds on her journey is much more than she bargained for - an arrogant employer, patronizing staff, and a chaotic system to name a few. Then to top it all off, an unforeseen tumble down the antiquated cellar steps brings her to a sudden halt.

Waking up in the year 1878, and mistaken for the children's new governess, Kat scrambles to navigate 19th-century British lifestyle and culture. An impossible feat if it weren't for the help of the Gilford girls and their charming and handsome brother, Merritt.

Will Kat find the strength, love and forgiveness she yearns for in the past? Or will her path bring her back to the reality she fears?

Hauntingly Beautiful

Katherine (“Kat”) has lost the love of her life and basically locked herself away in grief. After almost a year she answers an employment ad as a curator for an estate in England. She continues to go through the motions at work until she suddenly falls in the cellar and time travels to the past.
One painful step at a time, Kat faces her emotions. She slowly recognizes who she’s become. Healing is slow, with one trial after another.
No one could have written such raw, honest feelings without having experienced them. The author admits to the same. I was in tears many times while reading this book. It’s a beautiful story of the grieving process. Written in the first person, it’s a poignant testimony of restoration if we submit to its lessons.
I would caution against anyone reading this too soon after losing a loved one.
I deducted a star from the narrator because she occasionally didn’t switch voices when the characters changed.

HEART OF CHARLOTTE

THIS STORY IS AMAZINGLY WRITTEN! THE NARRATOR FLOWS AND THE STORY BECOMES TO LIFE. KAT IS SENT BACK IN TIME AFTER A MYSTERIOUS FALL DOWN THE CELLAR. AND LIVES A LIFE IN THE PAST AS A GOVERNESS TO THE YOUNG WOMEN OF CHARLOCK MANOR. THERE IS MYSTERY. ROMANCE, DRAMA AND IT IS A COMPLETELY CLEAN STORY. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT AS A LISTEN, IF YOU HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE OF CHARLOCK IN THE FUTURE!

Cat so childish

Great story idea, but Cat was so overboard with hate & sarcasm. The description of her feelings were so drawn out, it was hard to stay with the interested. It took away from the main story otherwise I would have given it higher rating.
