From the
author who's inspired millions worldwide with books like Tuesdays with Morrie
and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most imaginative novel yet,
The Time Keeper--a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the
hours. The man who became Father Time. In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction,
the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's
greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to
the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually,
with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a
magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two
earthly people the true meaning of time. He returns to our world--now dominated
by the hour-counting he so innocently began--and commences a journey with two
unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the
other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he
must save them both. And stop the world to do so. Told in Albom's signature
spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers
everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how
precious it truly is.
