SPF 12: Stuck With Fred
Hilly wants a friend, needs a friend, but the best she can do is Fred… thirty years older, irascible in the extreme, in poor health and a fellow recovering alcoholic. He’s not an easy friend. But neither is she. When his health takes a turn for the worst and his brother shows up to run interference, she finds out just how much of a friend he is.
