Book Description:
"Of all, clockmakers and morticians should bear the keenest sense of priority-their lives daily spent in observance of the unflagging procession of time... and the end thereof."
-DAVID PARKIN'S DIARY. JANUARY 3, 1901

So begins Timepiece, the unforgettable story of hope and the source of the wisdom MaryAnne Parkin shared with Richard in The Christmas Box. With the help of David Parkin's diary, Richard discovers the mystery of the timepiece and the significance of MaryAnne's request.

Nineteen years previous, only eleven days before her death, MaryAnne Parkin had bequeathed a beautiful rose-gold timepiece to my keeping.

"The day before you give Jenna away," she had said, her voice trembling as she handed me the heirloom, "give this to her for the gift."

I was puzzled by her choice of words.

"Her wedding gift?" I asked.

She looked at me sadly, then forced a fragile smile.

"You will know what I mean."

This Trilogy is my all time favorite. The writing by Richard Paul Evans is done with such flare. He is a truly wonderful writer who has the ability to paint a picture of the places and people in his book for you. I doubt I will ever find a trilogy that made me so anxious to get the next book!

If you have never read anything by Richard Paul Evans--read this one first and you will be hooked. This this is my favorite. These pages teache that time spent with loved ones is precious and brief. You don't have to read all of the trilogy or even read them in order, but it is nice if you can.
