Back to Life

By Diane Dierks

Kate Mulligan is given a chance to relive her life. After a fatal accident, she is told she can have a do-over and begin again as a child, only this time with the wisdom she learned the first time around. Intrigued and convinced she can remedy a lifetime of mistakes, Kate opts to go back to 1976, the year her nine-year-old brother drowned. She saves his life, but quickly wonders if second chances are worth dying for. The novel chronicles Kate's second attempt at life, in which she makes positive change but lives with the pain of sacrificing what she held dear the first time around. Throughout the novel, she encounters "angels" who encourage her to keep going, but soon discovers she cannot control the outcomes for those she loves simply by making different choices herself. Instead, she alters the course of life for some in ways that create even deeper regret. Ironically, Kate is forced to make a decision about the brother she returned to save. Will she have to end his life to save others from the monster he's now become? This thought-provoking tale of a woman trying to fix guilt and regret resonates with all who wish they could rewind and try again.
