of Stephen King (Goodreads Author)
Description
Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the studentsâa gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunningâs father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.Not much later, Jakeâs friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insaneâand insanely possibleâmission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jakeâs new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jakeâs lifeâa life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.
