Publisher: Orenda Books
Into Creative are VERY excited indeed to host the cover reveal of David F. Ross’s latest work, There’s Only One Danny Garvey. The book, published by Orenda Books, will be released on 21st January 2021 and is available to PRE-ORDER NOW.
A promising young football player returns home with his dreams in tatters and a dark secret haunting his conscience.
‘A brilliant, bittersweet story that captures the rawness of strained relationships, set against the struggles of a failing lower-league football team. Ross’s best novel yet.’ Stuart Cosgrove
Danny Garvey was a sixteen-year old footballing prodigy. Professional clubs clamoured to sign him, and a glittering future beckoned.
His early promise unfulfilled, Danny is now back home in the tiny village of Barshaw to manage the struggling junior team he once played for. What’s more, he’s hiding the truth about a tragic night, thirteen years earlier, that changed the course of several lives. There’s only one Danny Garvey, they once chanted … and that’s the problem.
A story of irrational hopes and fevered dreams – of unstoppable passion and unflinching commitment in the face of defeat – There’s Only One Danny Garvey is, above all, an unforgettable tale about finding hope and redemption in the most unexpected of places.
