ABSTRACT
Description
Michelle always wondered what she would change if she could live her life over again.
She never expected to get the chance.
One moment, she is lying in hospice at the end of her life, wondering whether reincarnation might actually be real. The next, she opens her eyes beneath a bright Kansas sky with a bruised face, a pounding head, and no memory of how she got there.
Her sister is young again.
Her mother has been dead for twenty years—but she's standing right in front of her.
And somehow, Michelle is fifteen years old and back in Topeka, Kansas.
At first, there is only one reasonable explanation: her dying brain is playing one last, incredibly detailed trick on her.
Then she goes to sleep.
And wakes up still fifteen.
This isn't a dream. It isn't a memory.
She's been given a second chance.
Unfortunately, knowing how her first life turned out doesn't mean Michelle remembers every detail of living it. She doesn't know winning lottery numbers. She can't predict every major event. She barely remembers the names of her high school teachers, and decades of adulthood have done absolutely nothing to help her remember trigonometry.
What she does remember are her regrets.
She remembers the opportunities she missed because she didn't know they existed. The college education she could have pursued sooner. The people she trusted when she shouldn't have. The cigarettes she never should have started smoking. The choices that seemed insignificant at fifteen but changed the course of her entire life.
This time, Michelle knows where the holes were.
But changing the past comes with a terrifying question:
How much can she change without losing the things she wouldn't trade for anything?
The man she loves is somewhere in this world, but she isn't supposed to meet him for years.
The beloved cats who became her family haven't even been born yet.
People she mourned are alive again—and others are walking unknowingly toward tragedies Michelle remembers but may not know enough to prevent.
Michelle doesn't want to save the world.
She just wants another chance at her own life.
Now she has one.
And she has absolutely no idea what she's doing.
