About The Book:
What would you do if you could spend an hour in your past? Four strangers in the beach town of Ventura, California are about to find out.
• Elizabeth aches for one more precious hour with her son who died in a senseless accident.
• Andy is desperate to find his first love who vanished after a whirlwind romance.
• Logan craves the rush of surfing and mountain climbing, yearning to reclaim the freedom he lost after a misstep landed him in a wheelchair.
Brooke is looking for an hour of relief from the guilt of an unforgivable mistake.
Enter Aeon Expeditions, the groundbreaking time travel invention of Mark Saunders—which allows some lucky clients the chance to spend an hour in their past. Even though Aeon’s technology ensures time travel can’t alter the future, all four clients, including Mark’s ex-wife Elizabeth, yearn to revisit the hour that changed their lives forever.
But when their “hour” extends beyond sixty minutes, they find themselves stranded in the past. As their paths intertwine unexpectedly, they unearth shocking secrets hidden in the shadows of their shared history: All their lives were shattered the same night on a secluded highway by the beach. As they delve into the hidden truths of that pivotal hour, a startling revelation emerges. They were not alone. Someone else was present, harboring deadly intentions.
The Memory Collectors is a heart-wrenching, genre-bending novel brimming with hope, grief and second chances.
About The Author:
Dete Meserve is a bestselling author of five novels and an award-winning creator and producer of films and television series. She adapted her debut novel, Good Sam, into a screenplay and produced it for Netflix. Her passion for storytelling stems from her work as the owner of Silver Creek Falls Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based production company, where she has produced everything from big-budget dramas and mysteries to star-studded comedies and animated series.
When she’s not writing or producing, you can often find her exploring nature or browsing the shelves of her local bookstores and libraries. A Chicago native, Meserve has lived most of her life in Los Angeles, where she and her husband have raised three children—and two very pampered cats.
