When an elderly eccentric collector and a troubled teen become each other's only hope of getting their lives back on track, what can possibly go wrong? Alfred is an elderly widower who uses antiques and collectibles to fill the hole in his heart left by his late wife. Kian is a lost teen who has been let down by the care system and finds it difficult to stay on the straight and narrow. After Kian throws a brick through Alfred's window, the shock sends Alfred to the hospital and a social worker to his home, where his hoarding becomes impossible to ignore. Begrudgingly, and at the request of the authorities, they both agree to enroll Kian in a restorative justice program, helping to make Alfred's home livable again. The only problem: Alfred doesn't want to throw any of his treasures away, and he certainly doesn't want Kian for company. What unfolds is a surprising and delightful journey of two characters who help each other more than they ever could have anticipated and, along the way, form the unlikeliest of friendships. An uplifting and warm story about friendship across generations, the power of community, and finding hope where it had been lost. Perfect for fans of Sally Page's The Keeper of Stories and Evie Woods's The Lost Bookshop.
