Lieserl, born in 1902, disappeared under mysterious circumstances and was long presumed dead from scarlet fever. When the siblings travel back to the early 1900s, they discover Mileva, Einstein’s wife, is determined to protect her daughter and is well‑versed in the dangers of altering the past. With a ticking clock and a mother who knows too much about time travel, Jonah and Katherine must outwit Mileva to restore the timeline and rescue Lieserl.
