Bess enjoys a quiet life until the day she mysteriously travels back in time to the world of her medieval ancestors. Together they cross a mountain to flee the attacks of merciless royal princes, arrive in Berryfield of old, establish Cherry Tree Farm, and learn how to save her family's failing crops. Later she returns to her own time to remind the Carters that despite their challenges the love they have for each other is the most important thing in their lives.
