    About this audiobook

    ‘Warm, uplifting & important…a very VERY special book’ Marian Keyes ‘Beautifully moving and uplifting’ Cecelia Ahern

    ‘Convincing characters, always gripping, endearing, with a cracking pace’ IRISH INDEPENDENT

    ‘Beautifully written, emotionally intelligent & moving in the extreme’ DAILY MAIL

    Meet Tom. Or Dr O’Grady, as he used to be called. When you pass him on the street, most people don’t even give him a second glance. You see, Tom isn’t living his best life. Burdened by grief, he’s only got his loyal dog, Bette Davis, for company and a rucksack containing his whole world.

    Then there’s Ruth and her son, DJ, who no longer have a place to call home. But Ruth believes that you can change the world by helping one person at a time – and Tom needs her help.
    There are a thousand ways to find your home – you just need to be brave enough to look for them.

      Amazing. Simply transformative. An achingly wonderful story with stellar narration.
    • 5/5
      The relationships between the unique characters in the story were so wonderfully woven into the story. A story about overcoming a condition you’ve tried to control your entire life which turns out to be your strength in the face of adversity. It was a heartwarming and thought provoking read. I listened to it and it was beautifully read which made it all the more memorable.
    • 5/5
      So poignant. Wonderful character development and storyline. She is a wonderful writer.
