Told with Beth Harbison's wit and warmth, IF I COULD TURN
BACK TIME is the fantasy of every woman who has ever
thought, "If I could go back in time, knowing what I know
now, I'd do things so differently..."
Thirty-seven-year-old Ramie Phillips has led a very
successful life. She made her fortune, and now she hob nobs
with the very rich and occasionally the semi-famous. She
enjoys luxuries she only dreamed of as a middle-class kid
growing up in Potomac, Maryland. But despite it all, she
can’t ignore the fact that she isn’t necessarily happy. In
fact, lately Ramie has begun to feel more than a little empty.
On a boat with friends off the Florida coast, she tries to
fight her feelings of discontent with steel will and
champagne. No one even notices as she gets up and goes to
the diving board and dives off…
Suddenly, Ramie is waking up, straining to understand a
voice calling in the distance…. It’s her mother: "Wake up!
You're going to be late for school again. I'm not writing a
note this time...."
Ramie finds herself back in time to the eve of her
eighteenth birthday, with a second chance to see the people
she’s lost and change the choices she regrets. How did she
get back here? Has she gone off the deep end? Has she really
gone back in time? Above all, she’ll have to answer the
question that no one else can: What it is that she really
wants from the past, and for her future?
