For The Want of Time L Hinrichsen

There are no secrets that time does not reveal- Jean Racine




Eva Reyes is a bright, hardworking college student. Her most pressing concerns should be how to win a fellowship for graduate school and making rent, but what she doesn't realize is she's keeping an extraordinary secret that may upend her entire life. A secret that's been so deeply hidden, she has conveniently forgotten. It's strange how secrets and lies have a nasty habit of becoming known, even if they're only revealed in your darkest dreams. Eva's average, ordinary life takes a hard turn when fate leads her to a mysterious Upper East Side brownstone. A turn, where her friends are powerless to help, but her grandmother, her only family, may know more than she's telling. Questions emerge after a shocking vision appears in a foggy, bathroom mirror. Images of 1880s New York City, and a child's abduction, send Eva on a quest to discover who she is, where she's from, and from what time.

For the Want of Time is a Sci-Fi time travel mystery and a love letter to the spirit and history of New York City.
