This unforgettable novel captures the power of longing, loss, and love and transports us from 1979 suburban New York to war-torn Vietnam, revealing that sometimes the most unexpected friendships can save us.
Two women from different worlds, Grace and Anh, are indelibly changed when a runaway boy is found on a street in their small Long Island town. Brought together by the love of this child displaced by war, the women find friendship and healing from their own painful pasts when their lives intersect with a mysterious wounded Vietnam vet. The vet, Jack, works at the Golden Hours, a watch store that mends timepieces—and might even mend damaged souls.
Richman interweaves the journeys of these wonderfully diverse characters—who will grip, fill, and break your heart—bringing them together with the care and precision of an expert watchmaker, one piece at a time.
“A poignant, memorable tale that I loved to the very last page.”—Kristina McMorris, New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday
