Timepiece
"Of all, clockmakers and morticians should bear the keenest sense of priority - their lives daily spent in observance of the unflagging procession of time and the end thereof."
-David Parkin's diary. January 3, 1901.
So begins Timepiece, the unforgettable story of hope and the source of the wisdom MaryAnne Parkin shared with Richard in The Christmas Box. Timepiece traces the loves of David and MaryAnne Parkin as they discover love, loyalty, and the power of forgiveness. Just as MaryAnne bestows on Richard a unique heirloom timepiece to pass on to his own daughter, Timepiece is a gift to pass on to those you love. Its message of the ongoing nature of life is a reminder that the connections from one generation to the next are indelible.
"Like the titular chest of Evans' bestselling THE CHRISTMAS BOX, the eponymous timepiece -'a beautiful rose-gold wristwatch'- of this heart-plucking prequel fairly vibrates with sentimentality Evans has a more ambitious tale to tell here than in THE CHRISTMAS BOX, and he generally carries it off with aplomb The nation's supply of Kleenex is bound to deplete after this book hits the shelves."
-Publishers Weekly
"A jewel of a book this exquisitely crafted story is wonderful reading for everyone."
-The Pilot (Southern Pines, NC)
" A touching story that reminds readers of the connections binding one generation to the next."
-Baton Rouge Magazine (LA)
