The BRAND NEW heartfelt book club pick from bestseller Debbie Howells. A truly heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting story about family, friendship, love and serendipity. Perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond, Beth Moran, and Nicholas Sparks.
When Bee loses her job, home and boyfriend - all on the same day that a man accidentally spills coffee all over her; she decides life can't get any worse. So when her mother finally tells Bee the name of the father she's never met - a musician named Luke Friday - she decides to take a risk and go in search of him.
Meanwhile, Alex - who accidentally bumped into a pretty girl earlier that day, spilling his coffee all over her - returns home, where his mother is increasingly dependent on him. He wants to help her find some of her memories again. But the only person he thinks can help is a stranger to him. A man called Luke Friday, who his mother once played music with.
As Alex and Bee start their search for the same man, Luke's nine-year-old daughter is also looking for something - anything - that might help her father with his grief. Little does she know her prayers might just be about to be answered… as a little thing called love starts to bring their lives together in ways none of them could possibly have imagined.
