    About this ebook

    A man, grounded by a muscular injury that he can't seem to recover from, has given up on returning to the life that he once lived. But then a postal worker stops by his house one morning and gives him a neighbour's package to care of, triggering events that will change him forever and prompting the question: what does it take to truly begin healing?

    I'm an English and Creative Writing graduate who lives in Todmorden, U.K. I've been a waiter, an English teacher, and a supermarket checkout boy. Through all of that, I have continued to write fiction of many genres. I spend my spare time playing the guitar and swearing at video-games.
