Springback
Paperback
(Independently published June 23, 2019)
Suspense and mystery meets heartfelt humor and friendship in this time manipulation fantasy.Chloe has always used her ability to rewind time to keep her life mistake-free and blame-free, flying under the radar as much as possible. But when the golden strands she uses to manipulate time start zapping her mind with erratic sparks, she and her friends are forced to investigate. Family secrets dating back more than a hundred years mark the trail of an ancient amulet being hunted by someone who will stop at nothing to strip Chloe of her ability, even if it means erasing Chloe’s life altogether.Soon Chloe is faced with heart-wrenching decisions and the question she’s been avoiding for seven years: does this extraordinary ability give her any right to manipulate other people’s lives?Springback is a contemporary fantasy full of magical realism for teens and tweens—a unique twist on time travel, parallel universes, and time loops. More than just a mystery about supernatural abilities, it’s a coming-of-age adventure about being real, forgiving yourself, and making tough choices.“Chloe's life at 16 should simply revolve around school, friends, and maybe a boy, but it doesn't. Instead, it revolves around springing backwards in time, covering up little mishaps [and] embarrassing moments, and suddenly discovering that the senior boy in her creative writing class is able to do it, too. If that were all she needed to deal with, life could continue as she knows it… but there are others who possess the same ability, and one of them is determined that Chloe and her ancestors never obtain this skill and will stop at nothing to get her way--after all, murder is nothing when you can rewind time.” - Cindy Gritton, Amazon Reviewer
