Complacent, self-made millionaire Scott Northwood wakes up one morning to discover he’s been given the ability to extend the lives of people who are about to die just when they are on the verge of achieving something important.
But there’s a catch—he must shorten his own lifespan by an equivalent amount of time.
Scott plunges into a moral and emotional maelstrom as his desire to live out his own comfortable life collides with a growing sense of obligation to transfer time to others who are clearly more deserving. Complicating matters, he falls deeply in love.
I loved this story, couldn't put it down! I initially purchased it mainly because as per it's description, it takes place in a general location of where I want to move to, so I was hoping the story would include lots of fleshed-out description of the area and any other info. tidbits that might inform me of the region. I also am drawn to fantasy and mystical genres, so this hint of what this story might be about, drew me in. I feel like I got so much more than I was expecting! A beautiful story that truly does make you want to strive to be an ever-better person! I hope they make it into a movie!
