Book excerpt: It's Lilah's first job, and she's pretty sure she's going to mess it up. To be fair, her work is pretty complicated. Lilah is employed by a company that alters the memories of the terminally ill, giving them one more chance at life. Diving into a client's memory is like diving into a dream world where time stops, and anything is possible. Lilah enters the memories of Theodore, whose biggest regret is losing the love of his life, Abigail Morley. Lilah's goal is to get Theodore and Abigail back together, but being a matchmaker isn't as easy as it sounds. Constant obstacles stand in her way. One such obstacle is Frank, Theodore's bad boy older brother. Frank is both a hindrance and a help as Lilah struggles to reunite Theodore with his lost love. He teases her, constantly smokes, never brushes his hair, and he refuses to believe she's a matchmaker from the future. Even so, Lilah finds herself falling for him... but is he even real? One part time travel romance and one part Matrix, True Endings is a different kind of science fiction romance.

Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back.
