11/22/63 by Stephen King

Life can turn on a dime -- or stumble into the extraordinary, as it does for Jake Epping, a divorced high school English teacher in small-town Maine. While grading essays by his GED students, Jake reads about such a destined moment through a gruesome, enthralling piece penned by janitor Harry Dunning. Fifty years earlier, Harry somehow survived his father's slaughter of the entire family. Jake is blown away, even as a more bizarre, life-altering secret comes to light when his friend Al, owner of the local diner, enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession -- to prevent the Kennedy assassination. How? By stepping through a mysterious portal in the diner's storeroom, and into the era of Ike and Elvis, of big American cars, sock hops, and cigarette smoke. Finding himself in warmhearted Jodie, Texas, Jake begins a new life, yet all turns on this treacherous road lead straight to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald. The course of history is about to be rewritten.
