Publisher's summary

A woman delves into a centuries-old murder to find the truth behind her self-destructive behavior in a powerful novel about love, loss, and healing by the bestselling author of An Unfinished Story and The Stars Don’t Lie.

Unable to catch a break in life or love as she approaches thirty, Charli Thurman sees red lights at every crossroads. And given the Thurman family’s tumultuous history, she knows things will only get worse, unless she can break the cycle and figure out where—and when—it all went wrong.

Charli is skeptical when her best friend introduces her to a “soul reader” who specializes in generational trauma. But during family constellation therapy with the guru, Charli experiences an inexplicable memory of terrible violence. Whatever happened in the past, it created an imbalance that’s still in the Thurman blood.

When Charli’s research leads her to Winchester, England, she meets a charming pub owner named Noah, whose own family history is similarly twisted. As the mystery deepens around a damaged inheritance and a tragic death, Charli is resolved to find the truth—and create the fresh start she has been hoping for her whole life.

Critic reviews

“In this beautifully written story of an old crime, a secret has shaped a family for generations until one woman goes in search of the truth that will allow her to reconcile the inherited traumas in her life. Celebrated author Boo Walker deftly explores the curious power of genetic memory in a modern American family…An Echo in Time vibrates at the sweetest frequency and pulls gently at just the right heartstrings.”—Kimberly Brock, bestselling author of The Lost Book of Eleanor Dare

An Echo in Time is a beautifully written, emotionally powerful story of a young woman’s journey to break the cycle of generational trauma…I found myself cheering for Charli at every turn and smiling at the deeply satisfying and nuanced ending.”—Yvette Manessis Corporon, international bestselling author of When the Cypress Whispers

An Echo in Time is a captivating novel about the generational legacy of secrets and shame and one woman’s journey to love herself by righting the wrongs of the past. Walker has crafted a beautiful and moving tale of loss and healing that is part love story, part mystery, and all green lights.”—Melissa Payne, bestselling author of A Light in the Forest

Wow!

I loved this story. It was great how it went back and forth between Charli in the present and Miles on the past.

Fantastic Everything!

This story had everything which made it hard to ever put it down. You can read the summary then imagine it ten times better. Different centuries and two families affected by two people in love who just wanted to be together.
Two comical moments stand out to me as I wasn’t expecting them. One involved a pair of panties and a Boo Who snuck in.
Life is always a mystery, coincidences (maybe but maybe more), true love and struggles and so is this story. Read it as it will make you happy!

Loved it

Enjoyed this book very much and found the concept of trans generational trauma well laid out and woven into this intriguing story with multiple time lines. Great concept.

I like the era changes

Easy listening, good story, the new age concept in the beginning was a bit over the top but I enjoyed it

Constellations are more than a collection of stars

Ancestry.com users will be delighted! Enjoyed following Charlie’s quest to find the source of her family’s bad karma. I enjoyed the reader’s interpretation in the audiobook.

The blending of then and now

I like believing in the influence of, and possibilities of better understanding our ancestors, having a connection through time.
A good story!!

Underachieving gen z meets demonic spiritualism...

Searching to explain generational failures beyond personal responsibility. Oh, and the characters are beyond beautiful/intelligent/selfless/blah blah blah. Throw a thick layer of woke'ism' over everything and that's it. Content was grinding slow. Narration emphasized it.

The dog seemed real, so 1 star is appropriate. Next.

Another winner

Another excellent story by Boo Walker. The English accent performance added greatly to this story of finding yourself through family history.
