Perhaps in the final days of our life we are granted the wisdom to see all that could have been, and all that should have been. The price is dear for such wisdom. Diagnosed with terminal cancer at the... This description may be from another edition of this product.
"The Time Keeper" is truly a very touching story. It made me realize how important it is to appreciate each day and live it to the fullest. But, most of all, it made me realize to never let a day go by without telling my children how much they mean to me and how much I love them. The book was wonderful! I'm sure it will touch many, many lives. I will definitely recommend this book to all of my friends.
Raw Truth
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book had a raw truth that you do not find in many books these days. You see the inner struggles of both mother and son throughout the entire book and can not help but become swept up in the emotional roller-coaster which is their lives. I would (and have) recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a story which shows the good, the bad, the ugly and the power of self-acceptance.
A emotional roller coaster!

Kudos to this young author on such a heart felt novel. I could not put the book down once I started and read cover to cover in a day. And it was a day well spent. I look forward to all future novels from Kevin Cropp, and hope that he knows that he has a big fan here in NC. I would recommend this book to anyone and know that once they have read it they will also pass these recommendations on to their loved ones as well. This story will take a toll on every emotion you possess. This story will show that whatever pain and hurt you have experienced can and will be healed through the power of a loving relationship...even the ones that can get lost along the way.
I read it in one sitting!

The Time Keeper caught me, kept me and would not let go. I cried harder than I have in years. I myself, not feeling at peace with my relationship with my own mother (she passed away also) this book really hit me hard and yet gave me hope in life. What a wonder! I await other writings by Kevin Cropp with eager anticipation and will not be "loaning" out my autographed copy of this wonderful work of art.

Kevin Cropp's first novel is touching on many different levels, but it's his uncanny use of imagery that stays with you long after you have returned this book to the shelf. The evocative images and questions he raises reach into the far corners of your mind and into the depths of your soul. I applaud his first work and look forward to many more.
