A Diner, a Door, and a Date with Destiny
What if you could step through a pantry door and find yourself in 1958, with the power to rewrite history? Jake Epping, a high school English teacher living an unremarkable life in Maine, faces exactly this choice when his dying friend Al reveals an impossible secret: a time portal hidden in his diner that always leads to the same autumn day in 1958. Al's request is staggering-go back and stop Lee Harvey Oswald from killing President Kennedy. Before Jake can dismiss this as the ravings of a sick man, Al proves it. The rabbit hole is real. And so begins one of the most emotionally complex journeys through time ever written, where the mission to save a president becomes a meditation on love, loss, and whether we should change the past even if we can.
