Echoes of Regret: A Novel of Time, Redemption, and Family Bonds
Echoes of Regret is a poignant science fiction drama that explores the themes of regret, redemption, and the enduring power of family connections. Written in a blend of first-person narration from the protagonist, Evan Carter, and third-person interludes from his father, James, and wife, Sarah, the novel spans multiple timelines, weaving a story of sacrifice and change. At its core is Evan's extraordinary ability, granted by a fatal brain injury, to physically travel through time to alter key moments in his life, all in an effort to spare his estranged father a lifetime of remorse. The book, structured in 30 chapters divided into three acts, clocks in at approximately 90,000 words, making it a compelling read for fans of time-travel narratives like The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger or 11/22/63 by Stephen King, but with a deeply personal focus on familial healing.
