About this listen
What if going back was the only way of going forward?
Rocked by a terrible accident, homeless Kelly needs to escape the cold streets of Glasgow. Maybe she doesn’t believe in serendipity, but a rare moment of kindness and a lost ring conspire to call her home. As Kelly vows to reunite the ring with its owner, she must return to the small town she fled so many years ago.
On her journey from Glasgow to the south-west tip of Scotland, Kelly encounters ancient pilgrim routes, hostile humans, hippies, book lovers and a friendly dog, as memories stir and the people she thought she’d left behind forever move closer with every step.

Great story, fantastic narration
It took me a little while to get into the story, but now it’s ended, I wish there was more. The writer’s portrayal of life on the streets is beautifully executed and heartbreaking. She covers such an important issue with humour and sensitivity and I like the was the writing and language become more focused and eloquent as Kelly sobers up throughout the book. A truly worthwhile listen.

Life changing
I wasn’t sure about this when I first started listening but boy am I glad I carried on. So many issues addressed and so eye opening. It will make you think twice next time you judge someone.

Moving and wonderful story
I have really enjoyed this book. The performance was excellent and the story is so moving and so real. Beautifully written and the second person POV sections read almost like a Social Worker record of the main character's experience. It captures the worlds of addiction, mental illness and homelessness and the dissociation that accompanies those experiences and the injustices of the welfare systems and housing. Really excellent story.

Brilliant narrator
I felt for Kelly. It gave me some insight into how easily someone can stray off their path. The relationship between Kelly and her wee dug was gorgeous.

Raw, Real, Riveting
Loved the gifted use of language and the gritty story. Appreciated that there was no big bow tied at the end. Enjoyed the history of Scotland and the interesting and challenging story lines including a well known Glasgow incident. Genius Campbell who never fails to entertain.
