In this impressive new collection, Ryle Winn introduces eight real-life heroes, each with an extraordinary tale to tell. We meet a fencing contractor who proves you can't judge a book by its cover; two octogenarian sisters with a tragic family secret; a racing enthusiast and horse-breeder who gets the shock of his life; a gutsy timberman who has side-stepped his date with the devil on more than one occasion. Ryle's unforgettable stories are moving and uplifting, and proof that the best yarns really are from the heart.
R.M. Winn's books include High Tides and Hard Rides, When a Tree Falls, Behind the Bike Shed, Rough Diamonds and Real Gems, Out of the Blue and Up a Hollow Log.
