In this astoundingly unique book, bestselling author N. D. Wilson reminds us that to truly live we must recognize that we are dying. Here, in poignant personal essays focusing on time (our pasts, presents and futures), we can see how we are writing our own life stories --- not in 140 characters, but with gusto, passion and poetry.

As World War II winds to a close, Europe's roads are clogged with 20 million exhausted refugees walking home. Among them are Jacob and Sarah, lonely Holocaust survivors who meet in Heidelberg. But Jacob is consumed with hatred and cannot rest until he has killed his brother’s murderer, a concentration camp guard nicknamed "The Rat." Now he must choose between revenge and love, between avenging the past and building a future.
