Story4.5 out of 5 stars 492
Frederick Fife was born with an extra helping of kindness in his heart. If he borrowed your car, he’d return it washed with a full tank of gas. The problem is there’s nobody left in Fred’s life to borrow from. At eighty-two, he’s desperately lonely, broke, and on the brink of homelessness. But Fred’s luck changes when, in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he takes the place of grumpy Bernard Greer at the local nursing home. Now he has warm meals in his belly and a roof over his head—as long as his poker face is in better shape than his prostate and that his look-alike never turns up.

I absolutely loved this book! It was the most beautiful, heartwarming story I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. Also written with the cutest touch of humor. The narrator for Fred’s character was pure perfection! I grew to love Fred more and more with every chapter. Be prepared to cry your eyes out! Give this beautiful story a listen. I guarantee you will love it.
