    About this audiobook

    An irresistible debut novel about the wisdom of the very young, the mischief of the very old, and the magic that happens when no one else is looking

    Millie Bird, seven years old and ever hopeful, always wears red gumboots to match her curly hair. Her struggling mother, grieving the death of Millie's father, leaves her in the big ladies' underwear department of a local store and never returns.

    Agatha Pantha, eighty-two, has not left her house-or spoken to another human being-since she was widowed seven years ago. She fills the silence by yelling at passersby, watching loud static on TV, and maintaining a strict daily schedule.

    Karl the Touch Typist, eighty-seven, once used his fingers to type out love notes on his wife's skin. Now that she's gone, he types his words out into the air as he speaks. Karl's been committed to a nursing home, but in a moment of clarity and joy, he escapes. Now he's on the lam.

    Brought together at a fateful moment, the three embark upon a road trip across Western Australia to find Millie's mother. Along the way, Karl wants to find out how to be a man again; Agatha just wants everything to go back to how it was.

    Together they will discover that old age is not the same as death, that the young can be wise, and that letting yourself feel sad once in a while just might be the key to a happy life.

      This was a quick read for me. The plot moved along quickly. I liked that it was set in the world of high end antiques/art. Cady and Mack, the main characters, were likable and I was rooting for them to get together.
    • 5/5
      I always love stories with innocent, yet quirky children as characters. Millie is one great example, alongside her companions, it's quite a fascinating and endearing trio of characters. They carried a simple premise for a plot to a moving and satisfying, and most surprisingly, believable end. Must read.

      Cady Easton has a Fantasy Man - her new employer, art and antiquities locator Mark Easton. She's well aware that the reality may not match the image she's built up during their correspondence, but hey, a girl's entitled to dream, right? But the pair's subtle flirting via email and phone is about to take a steamy and deadly turn. When Cady's aunt dies unexpectedly leaving Cady her well-known art gallery Chatelaine, Cady suspects foul play - can Mack and Cady get to the bottom of things before someone else dies?Romantic suspense with Krentz's signature spin. If you're a fan, this is familiar fare. If you've never read anything of her's before, this is a fairly typical offering. Spunky heroine, strong, family-committed hero, quirky second string, and easy to spot bad-guys.
