A crumbling marriage. An ancient mystery. And a way to change the past . . . When archaeologist Aaron Keeler finds himself transported eighteen years backward in time, he becomes swept up in a strangely illicit liaison with his younger wife. A brilliant musician, Violet is captivated by the attentive, "weathered" version of her husband. The Aaron she recently married--an American expat--has become distant, absorbed by his excavation of a prehistoric site at Kilmartin Glen on Scotland's west coast, where he will soon make the discovery that launches his career. As Aaron travels back and forth across the span of nearly two decades, with time passing in both worlds, he faces a threat to his revelatory dig, a crisis with the older Violet--mother of his two young children--and a sudden deterioration of his health. Meanwhile, Violet's musical performances take on a resonance related to the secrets the two are uncovering in both time frames. With their children and Aaron's lives at risk, he and Violet try to repair the damage before it's too late.

One Acre at a Time is about a man and woman's struggle to carve out a farm in the wilds of Clay County, West Virginia, in the 1870s. Tom and Callie Brown share their faith and good fortune with those around them as they take 1,280 acres of virgin timber in the head of Little Sycamore Creek and turned it into a working, self-sufficient farm, where they raised most of their food, along with goats, pigs, chickens, cows, horses, and one "yaller dog," all in the space of three years. They build fences, houses, and barns from the timber growing on their property, and as they travel around Clay County, people familiar with the area will enjoy recognizing landmarks that are still there to this day.
