Complacent, self-made millionaire Scott Northwood wakes up one morning to discover he’s been given the ability to extend the lives of people who are about to die just when they are on the verge of achieving something important. 

But there’s a catch—he must shorten his own lifespan by an equivalent amount of time. 
Scott plunges into a moral and emotional maelstrom as his desire to live out his own comfortable life collides with a growing sense of obligation to transfer time to others who are clearly more deserving. Complicating matters, he falls deeply in love.

Industry Reviews

“Richards’s intriguing debut novel explores various weighty questions, such as the definition of a well-lived life. 
The plot keeps a sharp pace.  The book poses many morally fraught questions: Isn’t each person’s life worth saving equally? Who can determine the value of a life? Is it wise to really play God? 
Bonus points: the Pacific Northwest is painted with a vibrant, saturated palette.” 
– Kirkus Reviews

“Every Nicholas Sparks fan, any reader of The Shack or Pay It Forward will absolutely love this book.   Heartening, uplifting and romantic!  If it’s possible for a novel to make you a better person, this might be the one to do it.” – Victoria Skurnick, 
Former Editor-in-Chief – The Book of the Month Club

“Richards leaves little doubt of a promising future on best seller lists.  This book takes more than one totally unexpected turn pushing the engaged reader not to put the book down until the end. The plot line insists that the reader stay the course—likely with a huge box of tissues at hand!
The descriptive material makes me want to pack and travel to the Pacific Northwest.  This is an excellent first (or twenty-first) novel. It is one that will stay with me.”  
– Judge’s Critique, Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards
