MODERN & CONTEMPORARY FICTION (POST C 1945). The story of your life never starts at the beginning. Don't they teach you anything at school? So says 104-year-old Ona to the 1-year-old boy who's been sent to help her out every Saturday morning. As he refills the bird feeders and
tidies the garden shed, Ona tells him about her long life, from first love to second chances. Soon she's confessing secrets she has kept hidden for decades. One Saturday, he doesn't show up. Ona starts to think he's not so special after all, but then his father Quinn arrives on her doorstep, determined to finish his son's good deed. The boy's mother is not so far behind.
