WHAT IF YOU COULD TRAVEL TO ANY POINT IN HISTORY?
“Sometimes I feel like I’m supposed to be changing history, other times I feel like history is supposed to be changing me.” —Adelaide Kerrigan
ADELAIDE KERRIGAN is an incredible emotional journey. It is a novel that faces down humanity’s darkness, but also shines as a story that brings your heart to the brink of endless light. History holds some powerful and painful lessons; explore the beauty of a second chance and the finality of kindness and grace through the life of the titular character, a selfless hero in the making. From the canola fields of China to the alleyways of Pachuca, Mexico, there is no place where compassion cannot reach.
Mechanicsville, Virginia. A renowned academic pathologist makes an attempt on her own life.
Calcium, New York. A family man has a heart attack in his living room.
Houston, Texas. A historic hurricane floods the most densely populated city in Texas.
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. A hopeful child with cancer awaits a life-changing surgery.
Auxerre, France. A devastating heatwave sweeps the capital of the Yonne department.
Nipomo, California. A widow and her two sons endure the hardship of the Great Depression.
Wagga Wagga, Australia. An influential inmate passes on her mantle of grace.
Though seemingly unrelated, these events are all connected by one cosmic thread: a retired firefighter by the name of Adelaide Kerrigan.
Adelaide had hoped to retire in peace, settling down as a researcher at a fire sciences lab in Montana— but that all changed the night she woke up in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean watching the RMS Titanic sink.
With answers provided by her apparent predecessor, Adelaide learns that she is part of a coterie of women with the unique ability to time travel. As Adelaide masters her gift, her destiny to reshape human history and save countless lives begins to unfold.
