Samenvatting:

Frederick Fife has borrowed someone else’s life – but it might just save his own… A funny, tender and uplifting story about second chances, human connection and the families we find along the way.

The feel-good runaway bestseller about forgiveness, redemption, and finding family.

Frederick Fife was born with an extra helping of kindness in his heart. At eighty-two, broke and facing eviction, his luck changes when a case of mistaken identity lands him in a local nursing home, with warm meals and a roof over his head.

Caregiver Denise Simms is suffocating under a crumbling marriage and family worries. As Fred settles into his borrowed life, his trail of kindness fuels her suspicions, because nothing about this charming new resident adds up.

As secrets are revealed and purpose rediscovered, can Fred find the thing he never dared hope for: one last chance to be part of a family?
