None of This Has Happened Yet
Elizabeth Lovejoy is eighty-six years old when the phone call comes from the police: an elderly man on a high building’s ledge is going to jump to his death, but first, he must “make peace” with Elizabeth. While trying to talk him off the literal ledge, she learns that Maximilian Montgomery has been her silent shadow—her guardian angel, even—for nearly seventy years as penance for his participation in a horrible crime that befell Elizabeth in her teenage years. What happened to her on that dark college campus a lifetime ago, unprotected from a pack of human animals, continues to influence even the smallest aspects of her life nearly seventy years later.
As the years roll back a decade at a time in Elizabeth’s life and she grows younger in each subsequent chapter, memory and perception change what’s already supposedly been revealed. Her career as a Hollywood actress falls and rises. Her relationships with her daughter and her sister fade and grow. She loses herself but is restored by the reversal of time. And as her life goes back to the beginning—and to the terrible event that changed the course of her entire future—there are powerful, questionable men who influence all of her decisions. Directors, actors, lovers, her father…and always Maximilian Montgomery. Often in the shadows, always nearby, and ever willing to do anything, even murder mercilessly, in order to finally “protect” Elizabeth Lovejoy, the woman he failed all those years ago…
