Sincerely, Me by Julietta Henderson is an uplifting novel about family, second chances and the taking on of responsibility, from the critically acclaimed author of The Funny Thing about Norman Foreman.
Danny Mulberry is the definition of a man who really needs to make an effort to improve his life. He hasn’t spoken to his sister in sixteen years, spends far too much time in the local pub and currently lives in his best friend’s garden shed with no intention to move!
When an altercation one drunken evening draws the attention of the press, a deceptive article appears. Strangely it portrays Danny’s alarming lifestyle as something to be admired.
Thinking that Danny has all the answers to life’s problems, strangers begin to send letters via the newspaper asking his advice. Soon he becomes the man with the answers to their problems!
And, as Danny provides them with advice his outlook on life begins to change.
His exposure in the newspaper leads to Wolfie, the teenage daughter of Danny’s estranged sister, Lou, setting out to find him. She’s never met her uncle, but her mother is badly in need of help!
Within the week he finds he has taken on responsibilities for the first time in his life!
Can he, however, transform himself into the man they all need him to be?
This wonderful novel is full of beautifully crafted diverse characters, including the irrepressible George, and a dog called Gentleman. They bring joy and laughter to a novel about a family broken apart, and with issues that need to be resolved.
This very perceptive author takes the reader through a gamut of emotions, from tragedy and irresponsible behaviour to laughter, love, and friendship.
AND, best of all, the importance of family!
Sincerely, Me is an equally heart-breaking and heart-warming book.
