Publisher's summary

Hope is a rare gift that - if we are lucky - comes to us with the power to heal our lives. I've come to know that the deepest sense of hope often springs from the hardest lessons in life. It is in the darkest skies that stars are best seen. Perhaps it is divine irony that within the darkest moments we are capable of revealing the greatest light, illuminating the best qualities of humankind. This is the story of Timepiece.

In The Christmas Box, a loving widow named MaryAnne taught us that the time spent with loved ones is precious and brief. Timepiece is the story of how she learned those lessons. It traces the lives of David and MaryAnne Parkin as they discover love, loyalty, and the power of forgiveness.

Just as MaryAnne bestows on Richard a unique heirloom timepiece to pass on to his own daughter, Timepiece is a very special present to pass on to those you love. Its message concerning the ongoing nature of life serves as a reminder that the connections from one generation to the next are indelible.

Critic reviews

" Timepiece is a small treasury of wisdom....You will probably read many books this year; you will not read one written with more skill or more heart than Timepiece." ( Tulsa World)

Even better the second time

It means even more to read this now that I’ve met Richard Paul Evans in person as well as his daughter Jenna, author of Love and Gelato. The two of them have a time-less relationship as father and daughter as well as authors. It makes the story even sweeter.

Great story and prequel to Christmas Box!

Sample made me wonder if I could listen to the narrator…but he ended up being ok. Story is great!

The sweet understanding of the preciousness of life

RPE does it again. His Christmas books are such a joy to read. They are especially wonderful at Christmastime, as they add so much warmth and love to the season. It just doesn’t seem like Christmas without a RPE read.
