A Time to Remember

Living in present-day Dallas with the woman he loves, David Russell is still unreconciled to the death of his older brother. Christopher, the hero of David’s childhood, had been killed in the Vietnam War—a war David is certain John F. Kennedy would never have fought.

When David meets Dr. Hendrick Koopman, a genius who has created a time machine, he insists on becoming Dr. Koopman’s first human subject. Convinced that he can change history and bring back Christopher, David meticulously plans every move he will make—and steps into the past. Destination: the roof of the Texas School Depository, November 22, 1963.

It works. David arrives at the roof minutes before Lee Harvey Oswald pulls the trigger. But in a tragedy of errors, it is David who is arrested as an assassin.

And that is only the beginning. As David’s ordeal becomes unexpectedly transformed again and again, a man confronts the ceremony of his own funeral; Lee Harvey Oswald is hailed as a hero; President Lyndon B. Johnson views a film that will change the course of history; and in a small town, good friends sit down to dinner. . . in the simple—and moving—finale to an absorbing story.

With compelling characters and poignant flashes of history, A Time to Remember journeys back—via time machine—to that fateful day in Dallas when Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F. Kennedy.
