Michael (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517123192)

Just what are you supposed to do when your clock shows 15:74? And how much time do you have to do it? Michael has an inquiring mind, and is more thrilled than frightened by this glimmer of the paranormal on his bedside table. He guesses at what the clock will do next, and guesses correctly the first couple of times. Humbled by one surprise after another, Michael realizes that the clock has set him a deadline with a person's future in the balance. He must decipher the clues that spell out his task, but this is not easy for someone who's become so good at ignoring his own demons while helping other people. For once in his life, Michael really needs to be selfish. Readers' Favorite five stars: "In Michael, Valerie Albermarle has written a fascinating twist on paradoxes and probable impossibilities, based on the distinct theme, if one could turn back the clock, what would they do differently. ...] Very cleverly done." This story is one man's journey over 24 hours, a reluctant journey that leads to the discovery of his true identity. It is about depression that was battled long before it was named, and about the solace of family and the curse of heredity. And then there's the clock, a mischievous and magical intruder into Michael's tidy life. What does a control freak do about something entirely beyond his control?
