Signed copy of Upward Bound

The Guardian has described Woody Brown's novel as "moving and funny and ringing with life", that explores the interlocking lives at an adult care centre in Southern California.

This story explores forged friendships, connections missed and the dreams – some new, others almost forgotten – that shape us. With his wit, empathy and astonishing gifts as a storyteller, Woody Brown immerses us in life as we have never experienced it before.
