About Sense of Place

A chance encounter on a rain‑soaked bridge draws a weary commuter into the orbit of an old tramp whose past is far richer, and far darker than his battered cup suggests. As the two men circle each other in a wary dance of curiosity and confession, a hidden life slowly emerges: boyhood innocence, family bonds, loss, addiction, and the long road toward survival.

Sense of Place is a moving and sharply observed novel about identity, memory, and the fragile threads that bind us to one another. It is a story of listening, of being seen, and of finding meaning in the most unexpected places.
