An unforgettable novel that captures the power of longing, loss, and love, The Time Keepers 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—only to bring them together with the care and precision of an expert watchmaker, one piece at a time. Inspired by the true story of a Vietnamese refugee who entrusted the dramatic account of her escape from Vietnam to the author, and also that of a wounded veteran, Richman sheds light on those whose lives were forever impacted by the devastation of that war.

Loss.

It's something we've all experienced at some point in our lives. Whether it be something one might perceive as trivial, or someone that's touched our hearts more than words can say, these moments, these minutes and seconds, leave their imprint on our very souls. Some of us carry them heavily, while manage to let go on the surface with ease, but there are still others that learn to mold those experiences into something more, allowing them to give of themselves to help others heal; others within whom they recognize a kindred spirit.

Such is the case in this beautiful, and moving story from author Alyson Richman. Grace and Anh are thrown together by fate, connected through hard times and tragedy, but help each other find their place in the here and now. The gentle soul that is Bao, a child that's seen more than his fair share at such a young age, was hard to know for multiple reasons, but easy to love for just as many. His well-being acts as both the catalyst and the glue that holds them together, even when they feel like falling apart. If you're a fan of Historical Fiction, you'll be swept away by this tale, enriched for the relationships you build with the characters, and leave with a smile on your heart by book's end.
