It was just a run-of-the-mill, garden-variety trip to the supermarket. But everything changes when middle-aged, luck-starved Henry Puddester finds a baby in his shopping cart. Naturally, he panics and bolts, preferring the fire to the frying pan, which leads to an odyssey strewn with wild scenes and wacky characters. Award-winning writer and masterful storyteller Susan Flanagan has penned a memorable tale filled with humour and heart.
