Description
'LIFE-AFFIRMING AND FULL OF LOVE' CELIA ANDERSON
'WARM, COMPASSIONATE, WITTY' MIKE GAYLE
Every flame tells a story...
George McGlory has been struggling since the death of his beloved wife, Audrey. But when he witnesses a public health funeral — with no flowers and no mourners — he is inspired to create The Light a Candle Society.
As George and his friends join together to celebrate forgotten lives, their care, compassion, humour and friendship become gifts not only to the people they are remembering, but to each other.
And the kindness of strangers gives them strength to confront the secrets of their own histories, forging joyful and unexpected new connections...

About the Author
Ruth Hogan studied English and Drama at Goldsmiths College and went on to work in local government. A car accident and a subsequent run-in with cancer convinced her finally to get her act together and pursue her dream of becoming a writer. The result was her debut novel - The Keeper of Lost Things, which went on to become a global bestseller. She is now living the dream (and occasional nightmare) as a full-time author, along with her husband and rescue dogs in a rambling Victorian house stuffed with treasure that inspires her novels.Insta: @ruthmariehoganauthor
