In this impressive new collection, Ryle Winn introduces eight real-life heroes, each with an extraordinary tale to tell. We meet a fencing contractor who proves you can't judge a book by its cover; two octogenarian sisters with a tragic family secret; a racing enthusiast and horse-breeder who gets the shock of his life; a gutsy timberman who has side-stepped his date with the devil on more than one occasion. Ryle's unforgettable stories are moving and uplifting, and proof that the best yarns really are from the heart.
