“This is such a charming book, and I loved how Fred helped everyone he met and just exuded kindness. Learning his backstory and how things can just change was relatable. If you liked "The Authenticity Project" or "A Man Called Ove," you'll enjoy this book.”

“The feel-good debut of the year. This zany story will have you laughing and crying. A case of mistaken identity leads to life changing actions. A touching story about second chances, the power of forgiveness, living life to the fullest, and finding "family.”
