Following the miscarriage of a daughter, Amy Hanford is
devastated and withdrawn. Her husband, Stephen, and her two
sons are going on a camping trip, which Amy has refused to
join. A therapist has suggested to Stephen that Amy spend a
few days at her summerhouse in Maine. Only to pacify
Stephen does Amy agree.
Upon arrival in Maine, Amy finds two other women, also
guests of the therapist and each carrying their own
troubles. Zoë, a young woman who's lost her memory
following an accident, and Faith, recently widowed and also
grieving for a long lost love, are trying to conquer their
own demons. Amy, having realistic dreams at night involving
Tristan, a beautiful and powerful man of the 18th century,
awakes each morning with unexplained bruises. Each woman is
hoping to rewrite the past through the mystical powers of
Madame Zoya by being transported in time to the 18th
century. When each woman encounters unexpected love and
gains their self-confidence back, will changing the past
give them the happiness they are seeking and in the way
they expect?

Magic most definitely
resides in the Maine summerhouse where the mysterious
Madame Zoya has granted the innermost wishes of its
visitors. Now, three women have come to this special place
with one thing in common: a painful past they would each
like to rewrite. Amy, who hides a heartbreaking loss
behind her seemingly perfect marriage and family...Faith,
a widow in her thirties whose deepest grief is for a man
from years ago...and Zoë, an artist shunned by her
hometown for reasons she doesn't know, after a traumatic
night erased her memory. With their mystical powers,
Madame Zoya and her sister Primrose are about to transport
the trio to eighteenth-century England to alter Amy's
ancestry. But although surprises await each of them, will
stepping back in time bring the women the happy endings
they seek?
