The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride

February’s NOCO Fave comes from reader Mary Anne Hunt, who offers up The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride by Fort Collins author Joe Siple, a story of a 100-year-old man and a 10-year-old boy who become unlikely friends as they both deal with their own mortality.

She says, “For several months I hadn’t been able to dive into a book until I started The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride. The story grabbed me on page one, and I nished it in three days. It is a sweet, heartfelt story of people who ordinarily would not come together, learning to accept and love one another, and becoming more kind in the process. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and love the fact that the author is local. Be prepared to shed a tear or two!” Hunt adds that the book also has some great laugh-out-loud moments.

The book is available at ebook sellers and in paperback and hardcover formats.
