Better late than never …
Ronda McCann lives a quiet, careful life. She cycles back and forth to her job at the local care home and plays chess with a robot in the evenings. At forty-four years old, she is perfectly okay with that.
But Ronda has a secret.
In her daydreams she’s fearless – brave, bold and impossible to ignore.
So when her comfortable little world suddenly starts to crumble, Ronda has a choice to make.
Keep playing it safe on the sidelines? Or finally step into being the person she’s always imagined herself to be?
