The Early Bus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798278757382)

Every morning, the Number 10 bus carries the same small group of passengers through the quiet streets of a northern town. But this is no ordinary route... and these are no ordinary passengers.

Albert Turner has lived a long, quiet life. Routine is his anchor. Loneliness is his constant companion. But when a mysterious ticket begins to shimmer in his pocket, Albert discovers that the early bus offers something extraordinary: a final journey to the place where your heart truly belongs.

On board are others like him-Harriet with her trembling hands, Frank with his tall tales, and the silent Man in the Hat whose dark glasses reflect more than they hide. Each passenger carries memories, regrets, and hopes they've never spoken aloud. And each will face a choice when their ticket begins to glow.

As Albert's last ride approaches, he must decide where he wants eternity to begin. A beach from his youth? A long-lost love? Or the doorstep of the home he left behind decades ago?

Tender, magical, and deeply human, The Early Bus is a story about memory, dignity, and the quiet bravery of choosing your final destination. It asks one simple question:

If you could spend forever in one place... where would you go?
