At the height of Beatlemania, John Lennon had it all; Fame, fortune, and a loving wife and baby waiting at home. Why, then, does he find himself drawn into the arms of another woman? **story contains mature content** This story is loosely based around the rumors of a secret relationship between John Lennon and Alma Cogan, a British singer known as 'the girl with the laugh in her voice.' She was the highest-paid British female entertainer of the 1950s and became close with the Beatles as their fame grew. There is not a ton of information out there regarding the possible affair, but Cynthia Lennon spoke about it many, many years later. Learning about some of the details she gave made me want to explore the possibilities and add my own twist. While this story is loosely based on actual people and events, none of it should taken as anything more than pure fiction. I do not own the Beatles (no matter how hard I wish!) or their likenesses.

Holly DuPont spent the majority of her life wondering what things would be like if John Lennon had not died on that fateful night in December of 1980. As an adult working for the CIA, she suddenly finds herself involved in a secret project in which her lifelong wonderings become plausible. Should Holly risk her career, and more importantly her life, to travel back in time and prevent John's death? With the help of her friend and co-worker, Holly jumps back through time, placing herself in key points of John and the Beatles' lives, with the ultimate goal of having John Lennon live to see December 9, 1980 and beyond. ******** Thank you for talking the time to read my story. This is obviously a work of fiction. While many of the characters and events depicted in this story are real, there are also many that have been modified or created purely from my imagination. I do not own the Beatles or their likenesses (darn!). The first few chapters of this story are quite Beatle-less. Please power through and I promise it will be worth it. These initial chapters are there to build backstory. Comments and votes are always appreciated! I do my best to reply as quickly as possible!
