Her parents and younger sister are dead, victims of Little Mo Biggs, a tragically accidental monster, himself a victim of profound parental neglect and abuse.Kiki is also attacked and hospitalized but survives.In the hospital, when all appears lost, she is given an opportunity to wipe away the nightmare, to un-do it, and correct the senseless tragedy. A second chance, a wonderful, improbable, and miraculous gift, that doesn't come easily.To reclaim her future, Kiki must first correct the injustices of Little Mo's past, which only can be corrected at the root. In doing so, she learns that home is more than a place, it is also a time, and must confront the parallel challenges of life and love, past and present, in a love story with a foot in each world, 2012 and 1981.The Do-Over is a novel of hope, love and second chances.We all dream of a second chance.The question is how far would you go for yours?
