About The Book

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Christms Box and A Christmas Memory comes a story tracing the lives of a family through reflective diary entries on love, loyalty, and forgiveness.

April 3, 1912. "Is this life, to grasp joy only to fear its escape? The price of happiness is the risk of losing it."

So reads one of the many wise entries in David Parkin's diary in Timepiece, which traces the miraculous lives of David and his wife MaryAnne as they discover the power of love, loyalty, forgiveness—and a long-forgotten keepsake that will change the fate of their family for eternity.
