Redhead by the Side of the Road: An uplifting page-turner from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Three Days in June - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
A perfect love story for imperfect people
Micah Mortimer measures out his days running errands for work, maintaining an impeccable cleaning regime and going for runs (7:15, every morning). He is in a long-term relationship with his woman friend Cassia, but they live apart. His carefully calibrated life is regular, steady, balanced.
But then the order of things starts to tilt. Cassia is threatened with eviction, and when a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son, he is confronted with another surprise he seems poorly equipped to handle.
Can Micah, a man to whom those around him always seem just out of reach, find a way back to his perfectly imperfect love story?

Von der hinteren Coverseite
Micah Mortimer isn't the most polished person you'll ever meet. His numerous sisters and in-laws regard him oddly but very fondly, but he has his ways and means of navigating the world. He measures out his days running errands for work - his TECH HERMIT sign cheerily displayed on the roof of his car - maintaining an impeccable cleaning regime and going for runs (7:15, every morning). He is content with the steady balance of his life. But then the order of things starts to tilt. His woman friend Cassia (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a 'girlfriend') tells him she's facing eviction because of a cat. And when a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son, Micah is confronted with another surprise he seems poorly equipped to handle. Redhead by the Side of the Road is an intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who sometimes finds those around him just out of reach - and a love story about the differences that make us all unique.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Zustand: Bueno. : Micah Mortimer no es la persona más refinada que conocerás. Sus numerosas hermanas y cuñados lo consideran de forma extraña pero muy cariñosa, pero tiene sus formas y medios de navegar por el mundo. Mide sus días haciendo recados para el trabajo, con su letrero de TECH HERMIT alegremente exhibido en el techo de su automóvil, manteniendo un régimen de limpieza impecable y saliendo a correr (7:15, todas las mañanas). Está contento con el equilibrio constante de su vida. Pero entonces el orden de las cosas comienza a inclinarse. Su amiga Cassia (se niega a llamar 'novia' a nadie que tenga más de treinta y tantos años) le dice que se enfrenta a un desalojo por un gato. Y cuando un adolescente aparece en la puerta de Micah afirmando ser su hijo, Micah se enfrenta a otra sorpresa que parece mal equipado para manejar. Redhead by the Side of the Road es una mirada íntima al corazón y la mente de un hombre que a veces encuentra a quienes lo rodean fuera de su alcance, y una historia de amor sobre las diferencias que nos hacen únicos a todos.
