"Think of all the different things that happened in the past as seeds. Some seeds grow, becoming the future, and some never grow at all."

Darrell Connor was a typical pre-teenager. Bright, active, and happy, without a worry in the world. Until that fateful day a motorcycle accident took her father's life and part of her own right leg three years ago.

Still bitter about her past, thirteen-year-old Darrell faces a new challenge: spending the summer at Eagle Glen, a "special" arts boarding school. Though reluctant, Darrell cannot ignore the sense of mystery there; it draws her. As unbidden friendships begin to form, she investigates.

While in the undertaking of catching an illegal crab-trapper, Darrell discovers a passage through time. She finds herself in Medieval Scotland during The Black Plague - a change of pace that eventually helps her regain her footing. Adventure abounds in the past and present for Darrell and her friends at Eagle Glen, and she begins to wonder: "Is it possible to change my past, too?"
