Two women from different worlds, joined by the love of a child displaced by war, discover friendship and healing as their lives intersect with a mysterious wounded Vietnam vet named Jack. Jack works at the Golden Hours--a watch store that mends time pieces--and maybe even mends damaged souls. The Time Keepers interweaves the journeys of wonderfully diverse characters that will grip, fill, and break your heart--only to bring them together with the care and precision of an expert watchmaker, one piece at a time. Inspired by a true story of a Vietnamese refugee who entrusted the dramatic story of her escape from Vietnam to the author and also that of a wounded veteran, Richman sheds light on the personal stories of those whose lives were forever impacted by the devastation of war.
