BUT THEY'RE GOING TO CHANGE EACH OTHER'S LIVES._ _In her role at the council's Unclaimed Heirs Unit, Linda Standish investigates the lives of those who've died alone and tracks down any living relatives. She's been a friend to the friendless for the past thirty-three years. And now she's looking forward to an early retirement. _ _But before she hangs up her lanyard, Linda takes on one last case - that of Levi Norman - a Welshman who made his home on a remote Scottish island for the past five years. _ _What brought Levi here? And who did he leave behind? Obliged to travel (by hearse) with her arch nemesis Fergus Murray, and helped (and hindered) by local residents, Linda searches for clues to a life now lost. And in the process unexpectedly makes new friends, and discovers things about herself she never knew._ Bursting with all the heart and humour that has made Ruth's name as a screenwriter and author, _By Your Side_ is about finding joy in the most unlikely connections, and the importance of holding onto friendship, love and community - especially when life gets messy. Ruth's novels have sold over a million copies. _Never Greener_ was a Sunday Times bestseller for fifteen weeks, three weeks at number one, as well as WHSmith Fiction Book of the Year 2018, a nominated Debut of the Year at the British Book Awards, and a Zoe Ball Book Club pick.
