When Caddy Dutton sees little Zoe Fox in town one day, she is amazed at how much the girl looks and behaves like her own daughter, who died during childhood in the 1920s. Tentatively, over the following weeks, she befriends three-year-old Zoe who, sure enough, has memories of another life, a life with Caddy, in Caddy's house.
