The uplifting, original new novel from the award-winning author of The Colour of Bee Larkham's Murder.

TWO PEOPLE

Simon Sparks is the man you know from behind the counter at the local Prince Burger ('hold the gherkin!'), fry shovelling, shelf stacking, hiding away from the world. And Jodie Brook is the single mum you see crossing the street with her son Zak - always chasing a dream she can't reach.

ONE LIFE

What if life could be so much more? When Simon and Jodie's worlds collide, it upends everything they know. But in chaos comes opportunity. And for every person who's ever doubted them, they find someone who'll finally believe...

ONE ORDINARY DAY AT A TIME

From the award-winning author, Sarah J. Harris, comes a warm, uplifting story about ordinary people, extraordinary tomorrows, and all the ways that life can surprise us...
