"Fans of The Age of Adaline will enjoy . . ." —Booklist

Is eternal youth a blessing or a curse?

Naissa Nolan is a happy child in 1850s Philadelphia—until tragedy strikes while she and her family are on holiday. Alone and heartbroken, she is thrust into an immortal life she never bargained for or imagined. Naissa spends the next few centuries on Earth—and beyond—desperate to learn more about her condition. While working with the esteemed Oberlin Institute in Vienna, she makes an important discovery that could change everything.

But trusting the wrong people is a mistake, and Naissa's immortal life enters a new chapter she never anticipated.

For readers who enjoy The Age of Adaline, Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, and Once Again by Catherine Wallace Hope.

      Naissa Nolan was a happy child with a good life. But her family is torn from her in one fell swoop on a Paris getaway. She wonders why she didn't succumb to the poisoning that took their lives, but as she goes to school, marries, and continues to lose the people she loves, she begins to realize something: she isn't aging. And it may be that her fate is to outlast everything--and watch centuries of humanity pass her by. This debut novel by Ren�e Schaeffer was published posthumously, and editor Erica B. Smith was crucial to its completion. Ageless rings with the specter of mortality, with what it means to know things will end, and what it means to be the one person for whom that isn't true. Naissa is stubborn, strong, and perseveres through grief, heartache, and the trials of history, from 1850 to 2118. Fans of The Age of Adeline will enjoy this book about a woman who doesn't age, yet strives to find a place for herself in an ever-changing world.
