After her marriage fell apart she and her part-Native American cousin Autumn Stillwater traveled back in time to Queen Anne's England. In this second book of the series they travel through Germany with their friend Steve and see first hand what life was like during the the Second Reich when Menno Simons called all believers to peace. Menno Simons was the first Mennonite. Jacob Ammon was the first Amish man who broke from the Mennonites because he believed in shunning.
