The Watchmaker: a Novelette

What if you could do it over again?

— Ask how you can win an hour in time —

Marae O’Conaire has much bigger problems than the fact her watch stopped at 3:57 p.m. When she brings her watch to a kindly repairman, she learns she has won a peculiar prize, a chance to re-live a single hour of her life. But Fate has strict rules about poking into the past, including the warning she can’t create a time-paradox. Can Marae make peace with the mistake she regrets most in this world?

This poignant tale about racism, regret and second chances is set in the historic mill city of Lowell, Massachusetts.
