The prequel to the Murray McBride series—by the author of the beloved USA Today international bestselling novel The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride.
The day before Murray McBride moves Jenny, his beloved wife of eighty years, into a memory care center, she convinces him to search for a case her grandfather buried long ago, said to contain “a treasure worth more than gold.” With the help of some new friends, Murray and Jenny retrace their steps from years before. Over the course of the day, Murray tenderly retells their love story—how they met, the challenges they faced and overcame, and their initial attempt at the quest.
But the closer they get to the treasure, the more clearly Murray remembers why they abandoned the search the first time. With the exhilarating discovery at hand, Murray must decide whether to unearth the treasure, even if it means bringing up painful events from the past.
This heartwarming novel is perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove and Lisa Wingate’s The Prayer Box.
★★★★★ "I loved the first book, the second was great, BUT the third and final book hit home. I am currently taking care of my husband who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. When I read the dedication of this book, I had second thoughts about going forward. I did, and with many a tear shed. That being said, I LEARNED SOME MUCH from Murray and the hints and tips his Dr suggested. I can’t remember reading such a beautiful story and following the lives of these unique individuals. I believe I will never come across another book that touched me in so many ways."
★★★★★ "Joe simple manages to warm my heart even as tears flow. In all his books, he addresses issues we all need to be aware of. In this book, he makes us aware of housing issues, Alzheimer’s challenges, as well as the enduring power of love."
