A novel by Laurie Beach
What if you woke up knowing the exact date and time you would die?
Dorothea Boone is no sissy. She knows full well that her amateur prognostications aren''t always spot-on, but this one has her reeling—especially since it was clear that she might drop dead early Christmas morning. So, when John Stanley enters her life, she doesn’t know whether to run toward him, or sprint away as fast as she can.
She’s supposed to have half of her life left to figure things out. Which means she absolutely cannot leave Earth while she still has a strong sense that something is missing. But what is it? Is it the fact that she’s been closed-off to men since her surprise unwed pregnancy? Or that her children are all off living their own lives without her? The uncertainty of her life stirs up old memories and mysteries from childhood that have her spinning.
So when Christmas approaches and John is determined to make sure she sticks around, will she allow him in? Or will she simply let fate take its course?
