A young woman at the crossroads of life and death embarks on an extraordinary journey across time in an epic novel about beauty, hope, endurance, and endless loves.
Most humans cower in the face of Death. Not Nella May Carter. She sees him. She doesn't hide. Instead, she bargains.
Born enslaved in eighteenth-century Georgia, Nella still believes in the will to survive amid the most untenable of conditions, in the glory of life, and in the ultimate goodness of the human race. She asks that Death, doubtful and curious, allow her to live long enough to prove it. He's giving Nella all the time in the world.
Challenged, Nella embarks on an epic journey across the globe and centuries. Each new incarnation records the joys and losses, and the friendships and heartbreaks, throughout her lifetimes. When she meets handsome and passionate professor Sebastian Moore--the first man to whom she has ever revealed her secrets--Nella yearns for the mortality that escapes her. She can't bear to leave this love behind.
As Death keeps watch, has Nella's journey come to an end? Or is a new one just beginning?
