Description
Three escaped pensioners. One single mother. A road trip to rescue her son. The new emotionally compelling page-turner by Australia's Charlotte Nash.
In their tiny pale green cottage under the trees, Mallory Cook and her five-year-old son, Harry, are a little family unit who weather the storms of life together. Money is tight after Harry's father, Duncan, abandoned them to expand his business in New York. So when Duncan fails to return Harry after a visit, Mallory boards a plane to bring her son home any way she can.
During the journey, a chance encounter with three retirees on the run from their care home leads Mallory on an unlikely group road trip across the United States. Zadie, Ernie and Jock each have their own reasons for making the journey, and along the way, the four of them will learn the lengths they will travel to save each other – and themselves.
Saving You is the beautiful, emotionally compelling page-turner by Charlotte Nash, bestselling Australian author of The Horseman and The Paris Wedding. If you love the stories of Jojo Moyes and Fiona McCallum, you will devour this book.
'I was enthralled... Nash's skilled storytelling will keep you turning pages until the very end.' FLEUR McDONALD

About the Author
Charlotte Nash is the bestselling author of six novels, including four set in country Australia, and The Paris Wedding, which has been sold in eight countries and translated into multiple languages. In her new novel, Saving You, she takes us on a road trip across the USA, with a story that showcases her signature style: lush sense of place, rich plot, emotive heart, and a body and soul odyssey for her characters. She is an intrepid traveller with a lifelong love of new experiences, and has adventured around Australia and the world for both work and pleasure, including in her pre-writing life as an engineer and medico. When not writing, she is a connoisseur of beautiful baked goods, gourmet tea, and an eclectic mix of favourite movies.
