A story about fate, love, and time travel. Like an MC Escher print, the plot twists and turns, as clever and appealing as Agnes herself."  Julia Franks, author of "The Say So"

The QuaranTEENS will perform a live set during the book signing after the conversation.

This event is free and open to the public! A Cappella Books will have copies of the book available for purchase at the venue. 

About the Book

Seventeen-year-old Agnes is a genius. Getting her doctorate in physics isn't challenging enough so she builds a time machine. When her mother, Claudia, dies from an apparent suicide, Agnes blames herself. If Claudia hadn't had Agnes when she was seventeen, she would have had a better life. Agnes goes back in time to stop Claudia from having sex the night she got pregnant. If Agnes succeeds, she'll no longer exist, but she's determined to save her mother. During her journey through time, Agnes learns there are some things you can never change.
