About This Book

Tuesday West has lived her whole life with the kind of quiet confidence that makes people believe she can handle anything — until a single accident takes that belief and tests it in ways she never anticipated. Paralyzed and suddenly facing a future that looks nothing like the one she imagined, Tuesday must discover whether her spirit is as unbreakable as she always assumed. Set in Middle Falls, Oregon, a town where the rules of time bend in extraordinary ways, the novel asks a question that cuts to the bone: if you could see what's coming, would you have the courage to face it anyway — or the wisdom to change it?

What Shawn Inmon does quietly and consistently well across this series is center deeply human stories inside the larger science-fiction framework, and this book is no exception. Tuesday is a fully realized character whose inner life carries real weight, and Inmon's prose moves with the kind of unhurried confidence that lets emotion land without melodrama. At 411 pages, the novel earns its length — this is a story that breathes, builds, and refuses to rush the moments that matter most.
