A wrong number leads to life-changing events for a woman haunted by her past in this enchanting novel of fate, friendship, and new beginnings.
Small events can change lives forever. That’s what Kerri Perry learns when she decides to return a call from an unfamiliar phone number. Hoping it’s news that she won a sweepstakes, she is instead greeted by the voice of a solitary old man named Morgan Thomas Fairchild. Though their initial conversation is tense, Kerri and Morgan soon develop an unlikely friendship. And when Kerri meets Morgan at his lavish estate, she realizes how completely her life has truly changed.
For a chosen few, a certain special pocket watch holds mysterious power over new beginnings. The watch once belonged to Morgan’s brother before being passed down to him. And now Morgan passes it on to Kerri.
Years ago, Kerri survived a terrible car accident that took the life of her childhood sweetheart. Since then, she has carried a heavy burden of guilt and shame that has kept her from living her life. But as the pocket watch works its magic, secrets are revealed that open a new path for the future.
