Can’t Press Rewind is a haunting literary debut that explores the grip of memory, depths of grief, and the fragile lines between past and present.

When acclaimed journalist Press London returns to his Pennsylvania hometown after the death of a childhood friend, he’s thrust into a tangled mystery that forces him to confront everything he’s spent years avoiding: the loss of his daughter, the collapse of old relationships, and a growing suspicion that what happened to his friend may not have been a suicide after all. As Press searches for truth, he peels back the layers of a town that’s changed — or maybe never did — while coming face-to-face with the parts of himself he buried long ago.

Told with raw emotion, quiet suspense, and flashes of dark humor, Can’t Press Rewind is a deeply human story about guilt, love, and the impossible urge to fix what can’t be undone.
