Kathy is a woman in a bad marriage with two children and a rather crazy mother.  She inherits he father's family home and uses it as an escape from a reality she doesn't want to face.  Under pressure from her mother she decides to sell and move on with her life.  In the process she wanders into the garden shed and finds a "Red Coat" transported through time from the American Revolutionary war.  Kathy and Robert connect and she decides to hide him while they attempt to get him back to his time.  Turns out time travel isn't as easy to figure out as the mechanics of a telephone (you'll get this when you read the book.)Plan B is to help Robert learn to pass in the 21st century.There are a few holes you need to overlook.  Despite the holes I enjoyed the sense of wonder Robert expresses at the changes around him.  He has a classical education and a willingness to accept the technology of our time.  Kathy also grows emotionally as her relationship with Robert blossoms.  There are a few bumps in the road and early on the author provides you with enough clues to see the confrontation at the end coming.I had a good time reading this book and definitely recommend it.Out of Time
