1914, rural West Kentucky. Twelve-year-old Emma Mae, ten-year-old Edward, and their seven-year-old brother Fred dash from their one-room school at Sunny Slope during a thunderstorm. Suddenly, as they run past the graveyard near their home, there is a close lightning flash. In an instant, they find that they have traveled back through time and are now on board a large clipper ship filled with passengers who are en route from Germany to America.
