From breakout author Stella Mowen comes a story that asks how we preserve the memories that shape us-and how we keep going when life stops us in our tracks.
In her acclaimed debut Until the Beat Stops, Mowen weaves a soulful, multi-perspective narrative about a visionary Seattle startup, The First Hill-created to honor the stories of those who may not live long enough to tell them. What begins as a mission to preserve the memories of terminally ill cancer patients unexpectedly becomes a sweeping digital archive of every moment worth saving: the past that formed us, the present that defines us, and the future we dare to imagine.
Told in an intimate documentary style, the novel travels back through the defining moments of each Founder-moments of love, loss, courage, and breathtaking clarity that reveal why they built a legacy meant to outlive them all.
A profoundly moving novel about the power of memory, the urgency of telling our stories, and the truth that even in our darkest chapters, hope still beats.
