In the heart of Helen Fisher's enchanting debut, "Faye, Faraway," lies a tale that weaves the threads of time, loss, and an unbreakable maternal bond. Faye, a devoted mother and wife, carries the weight of her childhood tragedy—losing her mother, Jeanie, at the tender age of seven. Her life, brimming with love for her own daughters, takes an extraordinary turn when she finds herself transported back to 1977, the year before her mother's untimely death. In this unexpected journey through time, Faye is given the miraculous opportunity to meet her mother as an adult, and even the little girl she once was, reigniting memories long faded. As Faye navigates the complexities of this newfound reality, she forms a deep and secretive friendship with Jeanie, all the while grappling with the fear of revealing her true identity. The novel tenderly explores the pain of loss, the complexity of faith, and the enduring power of love, as Faye stands at the crossroads of her past and present. Fisher masterfully crafts a story that is not only a poignant exploration of a daughter's longing for her mother but also a mesmerizing reflection on the choices that define our lives. "Faye, Faraway" is a heartwarming journey across time, inviting readers to ponder the incredible what-ifs of life and the magic of second chances.

Jodi Picoult mentioned this book on Twitter.
...I pondered this dual speed of time: the years that sometimes seem to stretch impossibly ahead of us, especially when we're young. When we're children, the time for us to learn to drive, get a job, marry, and have children seems unfathomably far away. And yet inevitably comes the time when we say we may have well have clicked our fingers, it happened that fast. The feeling that things are over when they haven't even started yet was the one I couldn't shake, and I have never been able to.
