Book Synopsis

''Uplifting, heartwarming and joyful. Restored my faith in humankind'' - Ruth Jones

When age makes you invisible, secrets are easier to hide

Daphne knows that age is just a number. She also knows that society no longer pays her any attention something she's happy to exploit to help her hide a somewhat chequered past.

But finding herself alone on her 70th birthday, with only her plants to talk to and neighbours to stalk online, she decides she needs some friends. Joining a Senior Citizen''s Social Club she's horrified at the expectation she'll spend her time enduring gentle crafting activities. Thankfully, the other members including a failed actor addicted to shoplifting and a prolific yarn-bomber agree.

After a tragic accident, the local council threaten to close the club but they have underestimated the wrong group of pensioners...and with the help of a teenage dad and a geriatric, orphaned dog, the incongruous gang set out to prove it.

As long as their pasts don''t catch up with them first
