What to expect
'Raw, unflinching and beautiful, it breaks your heart in every way possible’ Miranda Dickinson
You can’t have a rainbow, without a little rain…
When a stranger saves Luke’s life, he knows he’s been given a second chance. He’s going to make it count – and, determined to live each day to its fullest, he starts by saying yes to everything life has to offer.
Slowly but surely, Luke learns that a little bit of blue-sky thinking can go a long way, and things start to look up.
But when Luke’s new resolve is tested, will he return to his old ways? Or can one fateful moment truly save a life?
A life-affirming story about a man who is given a second chance, perfect for fans of Mike Gayle and Imogen Clark.
