What happens when a grandfather who has put all his dreams on hold gets a new chance because his grandson refuses to let his life fade away in silence?
When his grandfather is about to move into a nursing home, tired in body and lonely in his home, renowned adventurer Samuel Massie fears it will mark the beginning of his grandfather’s final chapter. So Samuel decides to give him one last journey. A true bucket-list expedition: riding a motorcycle through South America, skydiving over Australia, and diving deep into old memories. It becomes the start of a journey where Grandpa not only rediscovers the world but also himself.
Samuel and Grandpa is a gripping, wise, and deeply human story about daring to live, even when it seems too late.
With a narrative that balances humour and solemnity, action and reflection, Massie explores both generational gaps and unexpected closeness, delivering a deeply moving story of life’s final phase and all the possibilities that still remain.
Samuel and Grandpa is a book that makes readers laugh, cry, and want to live more fully. Because it isn’t just about one man’s dreams. This is about all of us.
