    Summary

    Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia. The late-night conversation between John Smith and Juliana Crain doesn’t end with long-past war stories and the tired adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Instead, over cheap coffee and memories of a dance left unfinished, Juliana takes a gamble and entrusts John with some of her deepest vulnerabilities. Hawthorne Abendsen once said that he trusted her to bet on the best of people, no matter what the world said about who they were. This time around, instead of betting on the son, Juliana Crain bets on the father, with drastic consequences for the timelines of both worlds.
