WHILE THERE WAS TIME (Eng.)

Blake Garner is in his early twenties and feels like his life has already come to a standstill.
He works in his father's workshop, puts off decisions he doesn't have the courage to make, and watches the world go by as if it no longer concerns him. Something inside him died a long time ago.
Elizabeth Sharpton, on the other hand, knows that time is no longer on her side.
At sixty-five, with a diagnosis that leaves no room for illusions, she feels an urgent need to go back, to piece together the fragments of what she has been and what she has left unfinished. To set off on a journey she never had the chance to take again.
When Blake and Elizabeth leave Ashland (WI) together, they are not just crossing the United States: they are crossing painful memories, regrets, and silences that burn more than the sun that accompanies them. Between neon-lit motels, seemingly endless roads, and unexpected encounters, the journey becomes a fragile balance between what is lost and what, surprisingly, can still be found.
"While There Was Time" is a novel about the distance between who we are and who we wanted to be, about those unlikely bonds that manage to change us just when we thought we were stuck.
Because some roads aren't meant to take us somewhere. They're meant to remind us of who we were, while there was still time.
