About this audiobook
Heartfelt and irresistible—“a lovely, deeply moving story of loss and love and memory made real” (Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author)—this emotionally resonant debut novel follows a woman who is given the impossible gift of traveling back in time to reunite with the mother she lost as a child.
Every night, as Faye tucks her daughters into bed, she thinks of her own mother, Jeanie, who died when Faye was only eight years old. The grief of that loss has never faded, shaping the way Faye loves her children and the quiet fear of what might one day be taken away.
Then, inexplicably, Faye is transported back into the past—where she comes face-to-face not only with her mother, alive and vibrant, but with her own younger self. Jeanie doesn’t recognize the grown woman Faye has become, though she senses a deep familiarity. As the two form a close friendship, they share confidences and moments Faye thought were lost forever—except for the one truth Faye cannot reveal.
Torn between the life she once had and the family waiting for her in the present, Faye must decide whether telling the truth will cost her the chance to return home. As time presses in, she faces an impossible choice between the mother she lost and the children she cannot leave behind.
Heartbreaking, hopeful, and quietly enchanting, this novel explores love across time, the enduring bond between mothers and daughters, and what it means to let go.
