Ted Ainsworth has always worked at his family' s ice-cream business in the quiet Lancashire town of St Luke' s-on-Sea. But the truth is, he' s never wanted to work for the family firm - he doesn' t even like ice-cream, though he' s never told his parents that. When Ted' s husband suddenly leaves him, the bottom falls out of his world. But what if this could be an opportunity to put what he wants first? This could be the chance to finally follow his secret dream: something Ted has never told anyone . . .
Becoming Ted is the story of an ordinary man' s journey to fulfil his extraordinary dream. It' s full of warmth, humour and courage and I absolutely loved it! Loud, proud and ruddy marvellous! -- Ruth Hogan A joyful read; tender, full of courage and irresistibly good-hearted. Lovers of Albert Entwistle have a real treat in store; as do those who haven' t met him yet -- Rachel Joyce With beautifully crafted characters, and a thoughtful, layered plot that explores love, friendship, identity and discovering the things you have to leave behind in order to move on, Becoming Ted reminds us that every dream is worth following -- Julietta Henderson The most joyful, heart-warming, and beautiful book ever. From heartbreak to following a dream, everyone will relate to Ted. I know it' s a good book when I put down my wine to keep reading! -- La Voix Matt Cain writes with energy and compassion about friendship, love and acceptance. This is a life-affirming story about one man' s journey to be true to himself -- Fanny Blake Full of the warm, beautifully drawn characters I' ve come to expect from Matt' s writing . . . so moving and so much fun. This is a book that' s going to mean so much to so many people -- Laura Kay A witty, heartwarming triumph, about the biggest challenge of all - living for yourself, not just for others, and doing it with gusto! -- Justin Myers, The Guyliner
