Will You be There?

Book excerpt: If you could go back in time what would you do differently? What mistakes would you correct? For Eliott there is no doubt in his mind. To all appearances, his life has been a success. At sixty, he is an esteemed surgeon with a daughter he adores. The only thing missing is Ilena - a beautiful, generous-hearted girl who died thirty years ago. But then he is given an extraordinary opportunity to revisit his past: to go back to San Francisco when the seventies were in full swing and find the passionate young doctor who has yet to lose the love of his life . . . What ensues is a story full of intelligence, hope and humour about making the right and wrong choices and trying to deserve what we most desire.
