For readers who crave deep emotion without darkness—The Second Life of Diane Sterling is a clean, redemptive masterpiece.

Diane Sterling has nothing left to lose. Addicted, estranged, and drowning in guilt, she attempted to step off a San Diego skyscraper and end it all—only to wake up in 1979, eight years old again.

Armed with adult memories of the future, Diane must navigate the fragile years that shaped her: her parents’ unraveling marriage, the childhood friends she couldn’t save, and the choices that once destroyed her. But every act of kindness shifts something else. Every “fix” comes with a cost.

As the boundaries between fate and free will blur, Diane faces the truth she tried to escape: she can’t change the past without losing part of herself. Most time-travel stories are power fantasies. The protagonist gets knowledge, fixes everything, wins. Clean redemption arc. Happy ending. Back to the Future with better parents and a nicer car.

This book says: "That's a lie."

Because the most devastating truth in The Second Life of Diane Sterling is this:

You can't save people from the pain that makes them who they are.

Profound and beautifully written, The Second Life of Diane Sterling is a story of addiction, forgiveness, and the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up—even when you can’t be saved.

Told with honesty and grace, this powerful yet clean novel proves that a story can be raw, redemptive, and utterly human—without a single profane or graphic word.

Intriguing and full of depth - her story becomes your story!
