In his forties, Danny’s parents are long gone as is the hope he had of marrying the girl he longed for in high school; instead, he runs a used bookstore in his childhood hometown, takes care of his Downs Syndrome sister, and has a surprising chance to change everything in the past.
—Michael Main
Live your life as if you were already living for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now.
