For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn't there: swooning Southern Belles; soldiers long forgotten; a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant. Plagued by phantoms since her parents' death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. She's tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.
So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson's willing to try one last cure. But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may change her past. Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he's around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should have happened?
Full of atmosphere, mystery, and romance, Hourglass merges the very best of the paranormal and science-fiction genres in a seductive, remarkable young adult debut.
Tienes una hora para reescribir tu pasado... A sus diecisiete años, Emerson Cole ve cosas que no existen: damas de alta alcurnia, soldados de la guerra, conciertos de jazz. Todo es efímero. Envuelta en una nube de fantasmas desde la muerte de sus padres, Emerson sólo quiere dejar de tener visiones y llevar una vida normal. Lo ha intentado todo, pero las apariciones persisten. Su hermano decide, entonces, confiar en el guía de una fundación secreta, La esfera, y Emerson pone todo su empeño en encontrar una cura. Pero conocer a Michael Weaver no sólo le da alas para cambiar su futuro, sino que también descubre que puede cambiar su pasado. ¿Quién es de verdad ese tipo reservado, misterioso y tan dulce, el único que la entiende? ¿Por qué tiembla cada vez que lo ve? ¿Y por qué él la necesita tanto para evitar una muerte que nunca debería haber sucedido?
