'There is a reason God limits our days.'
'Why?'
'To make each one precious.'

   "The Time Keeper" is a short novel full of magic and amazing fragments, quotes. This book is something special, something what will stay with you for a long time, not only for five minutes.




      "The Time Keeper" is a story of three lives: Dor, Victor Delmonte and Sarah Lemon.
  Dor is a Father Time, who misses his childhood friend and wife - wonderful Alli. He created time and after that time stole his life from him. He has a chance for freedom and has to save two lives.
  Victor is the rich man who can have everything. He's suffering from dialysis and cancer racking his body and he wants time to last forever.
   Sarah, 17-year-old girl, who falls in love with a boy who doesn't love her back, and makes her feel terribly about herself. She wants her time to be over.
    There are three stories but Dor's life is the main story of the book. He is banished to a cave, where he must listen to humanity's every loud  plea for more time, for one more hour, one more day. After so many years Dor is send back to Earth, where he crosses paths with Sarah, the girl who loved and now is suffering-dying from her first heartache, and Victor, a rich old man trying to buy more time of his life. They must choose: life or death, freedom or pain, to be or not to be. Their meeting is a painful but valuable  lesson about time and love.



     Who will live, who will die? Who will be happy, and who will always live with sadness and pain? For whom time will come to an end?

With endless time, nothing is special. With no loss or sacrifice, we can’t appreciate what we have.

It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be.

But fates are connected in ways we don’t understand.

     Why? I know I should write here a long list with answers "why" but I won't do it. This story is so magical and so amazing that you don't need more special reasons to read it. All you need are two reasons: believe in the magic and spend your time [life] well. Because time is a very valuable possession indeed. 


     "The Time Keeper " has a secret message: Time is precious and we should always use and spend our days well. Some people want it [lifetime] to passed more quickly, others want time to slow down or even stops. But many of them, maybe even all people on the Earth before, present, in the future, take time for granted, for nothing special and exceptional. They don't appreciate the chance that they have to take a moment and survive something wonderful. To take a moment and save all these minutes, all these memories. We have to live, enjoy every moment, take everything - bad and good things - and live.
