Four Minutes to Save a Life
There's always time to help out a stranger...isn't there?
Supermarket delivery driver Charlie enjoys his new job, because he doesn't have to spend too long with people, who, he's found, are nothing but trouble. But when he's assigned the Hope Row street, he realises there are a lot of lonely people out there - and for some, he's their only interaction.
The supermarket boss tells Charlie he's a driver, not a social worker - but Charlie can't abandon the Hope Row residents and he sets about trying to draw them out of their shells and back into the world. But will his helping hand make everything worse?
Charlie is about to start his new job as a delivery driver for a local supermarket. Charlie is very nervous about this and about everything. He has a past and is trying to leave his past behind but can he?
Four minutes is the time allowed for each delivery and the book focuses on three different households and their very differing lives and problems.
Charlie wants to help in some way to atone for what he has done.
This is a feel good book, but it is well done and it is about normal people.
Some of the time line of a couple of incidents was a bit off for me, but other than that was a very good read.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
