Sixteen miles downstream from the birthplace of George Washington, where the Shenandoah River comes out of the Blue Ridge carrying sycamore leaves and acorns, came a gem that shone brighter than most. That gem was Linda Wails, but when she found herself living on a dead-end street, next door to a black cat and mourning doves in the bushes, she knew her life had gone awry. Maybe she was right, because at the age of thrity-eight all the black cats and mourning doves in the state of North Carolina converged on her street. They all came the same day and they never left. "The Time Keeper" is not about harping on the past, but living in the present. It's about the redemption of a beautiful soul and a beautiful woman. It's about learning anew what it means to be a mother and what it takes to be a son. In the play of life, which is often a tragedy, one thing is certain: the Time Keeper will not be kept waiting.
