A broken cassette recorder. One unfinished song. Thirty years of regret. At twenty-three, Melody Johnson has reduced her musical ambitions to a temporary job and a guitar she no longer opens. She tells herself one disastrous performance ended the dream. Her mother, Lana, knows fear made the decision—and their arguments keep circling the choice Lana made in 1995, when she gave up her own chance at a music career and stayed in Harmony Springs. While clearing her late grandfather's workshop, Melody discovers a cassette recorded on the night everything changed. When the damaged recorder sends her thirty years into the past, she meets seventeen-year-old Lana before the regret, before the marriage, and before Melody herself. Now Melody has a chance to push her mother toward the life she was too afraid to choose. But every change rewrites the future. Photographs fade. People forget. And Melody begins disappearing from the family she thought she was saving. With the tape failing and one trip home remaining, Melody must decide whether giving her mother a second chance is worth surrendering her own life—and whether courage can be inherited without repeating the same mistakes. Rewind is an emotional time-travel novel about mothers and daughters, music and memory, and learning that loving one life does not mean never grieving another.
