4 stars for Red Letter Day by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
This is actually a reread. I remember being awed by the very idea of time travel when I first read this novella. Now? Perhaps less so. I guess knowing the answers to our own fate beforehand spoils half the fun of rereading. But still, the topic of time travel continues to intrigue me. A mystery. A mystery it will always be.
Have you ever wondered what it will be like to reach back into your own past and reassure yourself or put something right? Have you?

..and my future — whatever it is — will be the mystery it always was.
The mystery it should be.
The mystery it will always be.
