Summary

When you feel invisible, friendship can offer a ray of hope.

Sometimes it’s the things we don’t say that we need others to hear the loudest.... 

Izzy has always taken everything in her stride, but motherhood is proving more difficult than she thought. She keeps telling herself it’s just a phase, but the dark clouds are starting to appear.

Neighbour and widower Arthur might be in the winter of his life, but he’s not ready to be packed off to a care home. He’s determined to do things his way.

When Izzy hears about Arthur’s big move, she offers to help. But Arthur isn’t telling her the whole story. It takes courage to admit you need a friend, and when you feel invisible, all you need is a ray of hope. After all, what if the best is yet to come?

Down to earth, heartwarming story.

I was intrigued by this story from the minute I started listening , I could imagine the main characters living on a street like the one I was brought up on, it’s a sad & happy down to earth story and captures the feelings of most people when they’ve lost their partner in life. The narrator was one of the best I’ve heard and brought the characters to life - I loved it . Definitely 5 stars from me.
