Life Begins at Sixty-Two and a Half

Join Grace Chapman in a humorous, heart-warming story of friendship, family and second chances. In her sixties and living alone, Grace thinks it’s about time she made a difference in life by raising funds for a local charity. But how do you do that? Running 26 miles in a marathon is out of the question. Grace would require an ambulance after 26 yards. So how else might she succeed? On meeting Coco Vincenza, a singer from the 1960s, the idea of a charity fundraising concert comes about. But is Grace capable of organizing such an event? Well, she might be if she enlists the help of lifelong friend Bev (no problem!) and pianist Russ (slight problem – they were teenage sweethearts) to put the show together. For Grace, it’s now just a matter of overcoming a whole heap of obstacles to make a difference beyond anything she could have dreamt of, while keeping her teen romance with Russ where it belongs – in the past! Perfect for fans of Maddie Please, Judy Leigh and Caroline James. Previously published as ‘The Unforgettable Coco Vincenza’. —- ISBN: 9798328665377
