Customer Reviews

"Jake and the Hobo is a fascinating, fast-moving story of mentorship between a veteran suffering from Agent Orange and a teenaged girl running away from abuse and poverty. As the duo drive across the U.S., they develop the loving relationship of a grandfather and granddaughter, and they transform each other's lives. As a teacher, I think this novel of redemption and resilience will inspire and benefit children and adults.”

Road trip with a healer
“Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and the relationship between Jake and her new found mentor EB Hobbs. As the road-trip unfolded I enjoyed seeing things fall into place. Respite in troubled times and a reminder that kindness, acceptance and patience are some of the ingredients that are essential in a delicious recipe for healing. I envisage an animated movie in the making …”
