For Julia Lovett, an antique tome dedicated to embroidery is merely a parting gift from a former lover, a treasured trinket to be placed on a shelf and forgotten. But one day, she opens the book and finds handwritten lines in the margins. It's the diary of a girl who lived four centuries ago, a woman named Catherine. She was a servant, an embroiderer, and then a captive of Barbary pirates. Page after page, Julia immerses herself in this stranger's story. Catherine writes of the sea and the slave market, of Morocco and the people who surround her, of the love that blossomed where it seemed only hatred could survive.

And then something strange happens. The destinies of two women separated by centuries begin to intertwine. Julia, unwittingly, follows Catherine's trail. From foggy Cornwall to scorching Rabat. From her own shattered past to the secret that someone else's hand tried to preserve on yellowed pages. And there, among the bazaars and minarets, in a city where time flows differently, not only the solution to ancient history awaits her.
