The Man Across the Street
An Uplifting Story of Love and Hope For 2020
Description:... Maybe I'm scared to be happy... Meet Hannah - she's been her mum's sole carer since she was eighteen. Now alone after Martha's sudden death, Hannah feels lost in the only place she's known as home, Hope Street. Coming up to a milestone birthday, she's wondering what her purpose in life is.
Meet Doug - a workaholic, he's in the office from dusk 'til dawn, and when he has a heart attack. Now on the mend, he needs to de-stress his life and focus on living it, to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Doug moves to Hope Street, number 35. Hannah lives at number 34, directly opposite. From the moment they meet, there's a spark.
But there are secrets too. Hannah's mum has been keeping something from her, her sister left over twenty years ago, and there can't be such a simple reason why Doug has moved to Somerley. Can there?
