Overview

Love doesn't follow the rules of time. It rewrites them.When archaeologist Eileen Nash discovers ancient cave drawings along the Suwannee River, she's drawn to struggling artist Luke Campbell-a man who paints fractured realities he claims to see but cannot explain. His latest series mirrors her cave symbols exactly, though he's never seen them. Their connection defies logic, but when they enter the cave together, logic becomes irrelevant.Torn from 2025 and thrust into 1925 Jacksonville-the bustling silent film capital of the world-they must survive in a glamorous yet unforgiving era that doesn't understand who they are or where they came from. But something deeper is happening to Luke. His sense of time begins to fray, as if he's being pulled apart by forces he can't resist. Eileen remains anchored in a single reality, watching helplessly as the man she loves begins to disappear.What follows is a decades-spanning search for understanding-of quantum mechanics, archaeological mysteries, and a love that exists in the spaces between moments. Some connections transcend the physical world. Some waiting spans lifetimes.A Portrait of Time is a haunting exploration of temporal displacement and the devastating beauty of a love that refuses to be bound by the rules of existence. Perfect for readers who loved The Time Traveler's Wife and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
