If he borrowed your car, he’d return it washed with a full tank of gas. The problem is there’s nobody left in Fred’s life to borrow from. At eighty-two, he’s desperately lonely, broke, and on the brink of homelessness. But Fred’s luck changes when, in a bizarre case of mistaken identity, he takes the place of grumpy Bernard Greer at the local nursing home. Now he has warm meals in his belly and a roof over his head—as long as his poker face is in better shape than his prostate and that his look-alike never turns up. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDenise Simms is stuck breathing the same disappointing air again and again. A middle-aged mom and caregiver at Bernard's facility, her crumbling marriage and daughter's health concerns are suffocating her joy for life. Wounded by her two-faced husband, she vows never to let a man deceive her again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Fred walks in Bernard’s shoes, he leaves a trail of kindness behind him, fueling Denise's suspicions about his true identity. When unexpected truths are revealed, Fred and Denise rediscover their sense of purpose and learn how to return a broken life to mint condition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBittersweet and remarkably perceptive, \u003ci\u003eThe Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife\u003c\/i\u003e is a hilarious, feel-good, clever novel about grief, forgiveness, redemption, and finding family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Recycle Read Repeat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50780836626625,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/8118\/1121\/files\/E80CEEA3-6D68-4FFE-83C0-84BF3339AE69.jpg?v=1792364152","url":"https:\/\/recyclereadrepeat.com\/products\/the-borrowed-life-of-frederick-fife-anna-johnston","provider":"Recycle Read Repeat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
