The Dream Keeper's Daughter

Colin (The Memory Thief) uses time travel to tell a story that takes place simultaneously in present-day South Carolina and in 1816 Barbados. Isabel is no stranger to mysterious disappearances; her mother vanished 14 years ago. Six years later, Max Adair, her fiancé and the father of her unborn child, went missing without a trace. Unlike her father, whose obsession in finding his long-lost wife turned him into an absentee parent, Isabel is devoted to her daughter, and although heartbroken, determinedly over the next eight years builds a purposeful life as an archaeologist at the College of Charleston. What Isabel doesn't know is that Max landed two centuries earlier on his family's ancestral plantation in Barbados, on the eve of a slave revolt. On a dig with her students in Barbados, Isabel receives an unimaginable phone call, and her students unearth a find that cannot possibly exist.
