Back home after her first year of college, Clare Carlyle longs for more excitement than her summer job at the library can provide, but all that is about to change. After discovering a curious World War II memento at a local flea market, Clare suddenly finds herself on a time-twisting adventure that takes her back to the era when the young men and women of the Greatest Generation held the very future of mankind in their hands. Striving to fit in and do her part, Clare's courage is tested as she experiences life during World War II firsthand, from the home front to the front lines. Clare's globe-spanning journey takes her from neighborhood USO dances and New York's famed Stage Door Canteen to entertaining the troops in the South Pacific. As she fulfills her destiny, Clare learns lessons of friendship, love, and loss that no history book could ever teach.

It's 1938 and war clouds are gathering across the globe, but intrepid ethnobotany professor Ivy Linden is preoccupied with her summer fieldwork. That is until two enigmatic strangers arrive at her office and upend her plans: she must instead search for an antimalarial plant in Malaya. Ivy reluctantly accepts the mission, unaware of what adventures - and dangers - await her. Winging her way across the Pacific aboard the Pan American Clipper, she soon realizes this is no ordinary botany expedition, and she's not the only one searching for this plant. From the Long Bar at Singapore's swanky Raffles Hotel to a tiny island in the South Pacific that holds a powerful secret, Ivy's mysterious quest becomes more perplexing and perilous. She forms new friendships along the way, but rekindles an old rivalry with the nemesis she never wanted and receives fortuitous help from unexpected sources, challenging the very foundations of her beliefs. Can Ivy and her friends complete their fateful mission before it's too late?
