What to expect
Behind every ordinary day, behind every ordinary story, there’s an extraordinary one just waiting to happen…
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…

nUser Reviews
Narration was better by the female narrator, the male narrator seemed rather stilted, but I can't decide whether that was because of his problems. However, it didn't detract from the excellent story!
