Can she rewrite the past…to save their future?

Spellbinding, emotionally gripping GILL PAUL

Marianne Bertrand knows nothing about her past. She gave up her memories to become an agent for the highly secretive Bureau of Second Chances.

Seamlessly, she slips through time, putting wrongs to rights in the hope of giving others a future.

Walter Page is hollowed by the tragic loss of his wife. With each catastrophic choice made in the fog of grief, his solitude becomes a slow certainty.

When the map of Walter’s life crosses Marianne’s desk, she finds herself captivated. Determined to reawaken the hope that has long since left him, she arrives into Walter’s existence, ready to rearrange his fate.

But as she falls ever deeper into Walter's story, Marianne starts to question the truth about her own. Can she rewrite Walter's future, without confronting her own buried past…?
