Summary**2005 PEARL NOMINEE - BEST TIME TRAVEL ROMANCE** Now, A Breath of Snow and Ashes continues the extraordinary story of 18th-century Scotsman Jamie Fraser and his 20th-century wife, Claire. The year is 1772, and on the eve of the American
Revolution, the long fuse of rebellion has already been lit. Men lie dead in the streets of Boston, and in the backwoods of North Carolina, isolated cabins burn in the forest. With chaos brewing, the governor calls upon Jamie Fraser to
unite the backcountry and safeguard the colony for King and
Crown. But from his wife Jamie knows that three years hence
the shot heard round the world will be fired, and the
result will be independence — with those loyal to the King either dead or in exile. And there is also the matter of a tiny clipping from The Wilmington Gazette, dated 1776, which
reports Jamie's death, along with his kin. For once, he
hopes, his time-traveling family may be wrong about the
future.
