Beck Birsching has been adrift since the death of her mother, a brilliant but troubled investigativ…

"I want to feel like I can keep going. Like I know how. I don't want to be afraid to look forward and lose everything behind me."

-Courtney Gould, Where Echoes Die

"...that pain isn't universal. It's just a part of living in Backravel, tethered to the same chunk of time forever with no escape. At one point, Beck thought it sounded perfect. Now, it sounds like a nightmare."

-Courtney Gould, Where Echoes Die

"For the first time it occurs to Beck that the people of Backravel might not be recognizing her, but her similarities to her mother. An ache pangs deep in Beck's chest, and she wants to press for more information, wants to ask if Nancy remembers what this echoed memory of her was like-"

-Courtney Gould, Where Echoes Die

"She can't help picturing what her morning would look like today in a world where [her mother] never died. [...] She didn't like details then because details made time slow down. Lingering in the same day over and over, it was like time itself slipped by, quick and easy as a summer breeze through the window. There's a piece of her even now that wishes she was still in her bed, cycling through the same mirthless loop."
