Publisher's Synopsis
Daniel Rowland, a young farmer from colonial Connecticut, is mysteriously transported through time to the 21st century. Awed by technology and the lightning pace of modern life, he struggles against rejection as an imposter and experiences legal and medical problems. Ultimately, Daniel finds love with a Jamaican girl who befriends him. The novel contrasts present day society and culture with those of the 16th century, and details much of the history of the intervening years.
