"After reading Kate's story I vowed never to take good luck for granted again. This book brings into sharp focus what it means to have luck and what it means when luck deserts you.

Put simply, the story is about two people fallling in love and searching near and far for a place to call home. But the devil is in the detail. Luck plays havoc with their hopes and dreams and they find themselves at the mercy of a system stacked against them.

Kate has a knack of making you feel you are right there as things happen, rooting for her and Alex to overcome the latest obstacle in their path. Vividly drawn characters in words and pictures pepper the book and the lively, engaging style of writing will draw you in. I read it in one go - five stars!" Tuamum

"This is a great read! A lively tale about finding love, risking everything, being broke and refusing to give up! Kate tells the story with honesty and great humour, with a sobering glimpse of how easily life can go wrong. The book is enhanced by amusing illustrations, mouthwatering recipes and the wit and wisdom of Captain Jack's eccentric sayings. I laughed out loud at some of the 'in-tents madness' and absurd situations that life throws at our protagonists. Very funny, and touching." Laurita

"A cautionary tale of how we could all slip through the cracks if we're not careful. A survival story told with great wit and humility. The book is also charmingly illustrated with line drawings that bring out the humour of the story?" Distoviolin
