At 100 years old, Murray McBride has outlived everyone he ever loved. He has no reason to wake up, and he’s more than ready for the end. But fate has other plans in the form of Jason Lindsey, a ten-year-old boy with a failing heart and a "bucket list" of five final wishes.
In this heart-wrenching and life-affirming novel, Joe Siple weaves a beautiful tale of two souls at opposite ends of life who find exactly what they need in each other. As Murray helps Jason navigate his "big" dreams—from hitting a home run to finding a first kiss—he discovers that while he was busy waiting to die, Jason was busy teaching him how to live.
The Final Wish of Mr. Murray McBride is a masterpiece of intergenerational friendship. It’s a story about the legacy we leave behind, the courage it takes to hope, and the magic of finding a best friend when you least expect it.
★★★★★ "I loved each book. These are the most poignant and interesting books so have read I. A long time. I found the characters funny, charming. And interesting as well. The stories and life of Murray McBride made me, laugh and cry and truly inspiring."
★★★★★ "This was the second book of the series and again the characters seemed so real to me and I drank in all the words like I had been deprived of thirst quenching drinks for the longest time and now that thirst was rewarded. I loved keeping up with Jason and fell in love with Alexandra the way I did with Tiegen. I plan on continuing this journey with the next book in the series. .Mr Joe Siple you are a writer extraordinaire and I have definitely become a fan."
