    About this ebook

    Dave is devastated when his wife is diagnosed with cancer. They're too young, and have too much left to live for. During a trip to sell their antique collection in exchange for money to pay their newly acquired medical bills Dave meets an old woman who tells him that he possesses a most unusual trinket - a pocket watch. Posed with the choice to force the hands of fate and time, he opts to save his wife's life. 

    But the price he pays for meddling will change everything...
