For fans of Sally Hogan and Ruth Page, comes this heartwarming tale about love, loss and connection

Ernie has had three grand passions in his long, long life: his dear wife Phyllis, a vintage Norton Dominator motorcycle with enviably large panniers, and his mini-me, son Stephen. Now, as dementia overwhelms Ernie and takes away everything he can remember about the everyday, memories of those far away times remain crystalline and cherished.

His granddaughter Nina, seventeen, is equally at odds with the everyday. Excluded from school as her neuro-divergency meant she found it hard to concentrate in the manner her teachers demanded, and with no BFFs, it seems a non-responsible job in her mother's greengrocers is the best life can ever offer. Endless time stretches bleakly ahead, yet Nina feels she can barely make it to the end of each day.

Until, that is, Nina stumbles upon a surprise which, it turns out, can save both Ernie and herself, unwittingly uncovering along the way a wonderful secret from those far-off days.

This is the heart-lifting love story between a dying old man who once made a promise and an unhappy teenage girl yet to find her way, and a heroine called Josie.
