Publisher's summary

From award-winning and USA Today bestselling author Joe Siple.

In the second book in the international bestselling Mr. Murray McBride series, the path to finding future happiness might just be paved in the lessons of the past...

Jason Cashman has reached the goal he spent the last twenty years seeking: raising a million dollars for charity. But instead of feeling content, he now feels empty. What comes next? When he meets Alexandra Lopez—a determined ten-year-old girl facing deportation and uncertainty—he is inspired by his old friend, Murray McBride, to help her fulfill five wishes before she must leave.

Jason and Alexandra set out to check off as many of her wishes as possible, but when Jason’s transplanted heart begins to fail, he must choose between his obligations to the past and his hope for a future.100-year-old Murray McBride finds new meaning in life and starts a positive butterfly effect on the lives of those around him, in this series about coming of age, friendship, purpose.

This heartwarming coming-of-age novel is perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove and Robert Dugoni’s The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell.

Wonderful addition to The Five Wishes of Mr Murray McBride

A wonderful story to show the main character’s life as he grows up. The author writes all the emotions. Highly recommend.

Caring ❤️

Amazing how we can care for each other if we try.
This book shows that our legal system needs better support for immigrants.

Kindness and caring for others has no age or race boundaries.

This captivating story is a well written tale of how the kindness and determination of a 11 1/4 year old, who is befriended by a caring and kind citizen, teaches us all the power of kindness and friendship, no matter what the age or nationality.

Easy Read

I liked the sound of the narrators voice, I thought at times the words were read a bit choppy, esp when portraying a different ethnicity.
The story became a little too political for my liking. I read/listen to get away from the political discourse that is going on in our country. I kept with the story became I was more interested in Jason's story and how it would end.
The wholesomeness was lost IMO with the story.

My second review at the end of the book

The book is touching and speaks to several of my interests - medical dilemmas, global affairs, equality. I wanted to edit my review ie I’m not an author and not qualified to “critique” a writing style . I do still feel that some of both books is a bit unethical and unrealistic but overall great stories!

BMK

Revisiting the 5 wishes just made the new wishes better.

Jason's insights bring us full circle.

Love and friendship, selflessness, sacrifice, courage, resilience, hope, forgiveness

These two books in the Mr. Murray series are EXCELLENT!

AND REMEMBER!!!

SBK ~ Always be Strong, Brave, and Kind!

And, as an author, Joe Siple did an extraordinary job narrating. Most authors who narrator their own books aren't as prepared to share
