SynopsisSarah and Andrew, a librarian and farmer, are offered help by a mysterious couple in schooling their children. The couple, who attended their church periodically, were intuitively called angels by some. Although the couple came and went without notice to where no one knew, Sarah and Andrew considered the angel characterization absurd.Years after Sarah and Andrew's time travel trip on an ancestor's wagon train they realized it was the couple, Thelma and Ralph, who had assisted them on their journey and the first birth of their twins. Neither the surreal trip nor the couple's presence could Sarah and Andrew explain. Although they desired answers, fear of public ridicule kept their secret between them. They were apprehensive about what payback the mysterious couple might demand for their help. When they were asked a minor favor, the farm couple was relieved.

In Israel, over six thousand miles from the corn fields of Iowa, Thelma and Ralph set up care for another unlikely couple who were to have similar-aged children. A secular humanist tyrant gradually took over the world and usurped most liberties. Many had come to believe that only a second coming could save the world from disaster.It would be years before the connection between the distant families and world changing events emanating from Versailles would be made. Small nudges here and there would implement God's master plan and change the world.
