The Shame of John Slade

A directionless man

John Slade still dreams of fame and fortune.

The reality is that John is in his forties, working as a postman, and his covers band hasn’t played a gig in months.

A useless father

John Slade used to have a family.

Busy being lazy and behaving recklessly, John hardly even knows his daughter anymore. But he’s about to find out that she’s moving halfway around the world.

A last chance

With only a month left to form a bond with Ella before she leaves, John has a final opportunity to prove that he is capable of being a responsible adult. Which might be a problem . . .
